It seems that I cannot retrieve test function. What html file name are you working with? Is it just phone.json? I cannot see similar html elements from the work space.

Treehouse Moderator 32,305 PointsHuston (the teacher) was just opening a new browser tab/window, opening the dev tools/console and creating a new variable called test. He was copying and pasting content from Workspaces, rather than manually typing out the value of the variable each time he changed it.
You could even open the Chrome Dev Tools (or other browser's equivalent) from the Workspace window, though it probably won't be attached/docked like it would with a normal tab.
If you'd like more info on using Chrome Dev Tools, checkout Treehouse's Workshop Debugging a Web App With Chrome Dev Tools.
