How to test Google Plus API (Google Plus test account)?

google-plus

Solution

As you point out, your Google+ account should be created using your common name, but you are not limited to one profile. For manual testing you can create a second profile.

If you are doing automated testing, though, this is probably not an effective approach. Your tests will consume your quota so whenever possible mock the client library to test your code.

Problem

I am pretty sure I missed something, but I couldn't find (ie. google) a possibility to create test accounts for Google Plus. However, it is surely not allowed to create fake user account for tests, so, how do I test my G+ apps with more than one (my) account?
