I do hope I can load the taskpane.html outside the office app, which is for powerpoint add-ins actually. Because I need to run automation test. As I know, the office.js does not allow users to use it outside the office app. What should I do? Please.

The taskpane.html can load in an ordinary browser, but you will get an error saying that Office.js cannot initialize. You can click buttons and other UI in the taskpane, but nothing that requires Office.js will work. If it is unit tests that you want to automate, you can do that with the mocking framework. See Office Add-ins Unit Testing.

Have you try to run the automation test using PowerPoint on the Web (Office 365)?
