Is there a way to execute simple smart contract using Aleth source code?

In go-ethereum, there's a way to simulate the blockchain where I can send transaction(such as deploying a smart contract) to the blockchain and get a result from it(such as getting a result from a contract). See details here. I wonder if Aleth provides a similar way or not.

aleth has a tool called aleth-vm . Maybe this is what would be useful for you?
