Thomas,

Thanks for the response. That's a good idea, but after that, what? I 
would need to test the data against hard data, wouldn't I? And if each 
person running the tests has a different set of credentials, then the 
hard data would work only for me. Or were you talking about doing that 
just to test to make sure methods return proper instances of Array, 
GoogleSpreadsheet, etc.?
