Is there a good esp8266 simulator software that can be used to automate testing? Is it possible to get code written on Arduino IDE to run on these simulators?
the Proteus version which has the IoT capability can simulate the ESP8266, it even shows the web page coded into the module (inside the simulator) whith the visual designer window and it also has the posibility of load the page in the web explorer of you computer i.e., firefox, chrome, edge, etc..
The ESP8266 community created an add-on for the Arduino IDE that allows you to program the ESP8266 using the Arduino IDE and its programming language.
Step 1: Open the example blink program from the "example for NodeMCU 1.0" section inside the example menu, Step 2: Connect the NodeMCU with your computer using the micro USB cable. Step 3: Select and Board and Port and upload the program, that's it, now the builtin LED should start blinking.
Restart the Arduino IDE and Select the specific Board. To program ESP8266, you need a USB to serial converter. Image below shows connections made from Explore USB to Serial and Explore Wifi boards. Note that the Explore Wifi board has on board 3.3v regulator and circuitry to reset the board and put it in programming mode.
Choose Preferences in the File menu and enter the copied code in Additional Board Manager URLs part. Then press OK. Step2. Search the word ESP8266 in Boards>boards manager from Tools menu. Then install ESP8266 boards.

The general features of this board are as follows: In order to use Arduino IDE to program the NodeMCU, you have to introduce it to the software at first. To do this copy the following code and follow the steps below: step1. Choose Preferences in the File menu and enter the copied code in Additional Board Manager URLs part. Then press OK. Step2.
I think that you could simulate esp8266 using https://github.com/OSLL/qemu-xtensa/tree/xtensa-esp8266
Unfortunately you have to compile qemu-xtensa yourself. Compiled binary can be called like that: qemu-system-xtensa -machine esp8266 -nographic -kernel <your-project>/sketch/app.out -S -s
