How to test gcloud applications #1822

Hello,

I have seen there are some efforts to create a local environment for testing, such as the datastore emulator, and the pubsub emulator, but I haven't seen more or documentation on how to use them.

One of the main blocks for the development with gcloud AFAI see is that there is not an standard to setup a integration testing environment. Certainly the ability to transparently connect and authenticate to upstream services is nice, but in order to develop, in the teams I work in, we really need to have a local testing environment.

The library is easy to mock, but I would highly appreciate having an standard way for developers have their testing environment, and documentation on how to do it.

I understand this effort is under gcloud beta emulators, but I have failed to find a way to integrate them with this library.
