The GAE docs talk about how to setup a test to use the datastore.  But also follow the instructions here until the docs are fully updated.

The easiest way to get setup rapidly is to download the template project from the download section. It provides a ready-to-go project with the right configuration files pre-filled and an appropriate directory layout: web.xml preconfigured with the Gaelyk servlets appengine-web.xml with the right settings predefined (static file directive) a sample Groovlet and template the needed JARs (Groovy, Gaelyk and Google App Engine SDK)

Running your application locally Google App Engine provides a local servlet container, powered by Jetty, which lets you run your applications locally. If you're using the Gaelyk template, when you're at the root of your project — and we assume you have installed the App Engine SDK on your machine — you can run your application with the following command-line: dev_appserver.sh war

Deploying your application in the cloud Once you're at the root of your application, simply run the usual deployment command: appcfg.sh update war

've been able to accomplish what you're doing with Selenium testing. If you're using GWT, then your integration testing and user acceptance probably won't be that far from each other.

Yes, you will need to use the federated login (OpenID) stuff. The long-and-short of it is that you pass the federated_identity parameter to users.create_login_url.  You'll need to setup a page for users to tell you what goes in federated_identity somehow, perhaps by clicking a google logo or entering an apps domain. For Google accounts:   users.create_login_url(federated_identity='google.com/accounts/o8/id')   or   users.create_login_url(federated_identity='gmail.com') For an Apps account:   users.create_login_url(federated_identity='google.com/accounts/o8/site-xrds?hd=yourappsdomain.com') There is a little info here:   http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/users/overview.html And Wesley has a nice article about it here:   http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/openid.html Some info on Google Apps domains and OpenID:   http://groups.google.com/group/google-federated-login-api/web/openid-...
