Hi, Thanks for putting together such a comprehensive list! The only modifications I would make are:
1. api.adwords.clientId - This can come from either the NON-test or the test account. Since you will ultimately need an api project for the non-test account, I would recommend using that here. 2. api.adwords.clientSecret - This can come from either the NON-test or the test account, same as #1. 3. api.adwords.userAgent - This is optional, but it is extremely helpful for us if you have questions about specific requests. You can set this to any string that might be useful for that purpose. 4. api.adwords.developerToken - As you stated, this should come from the NON-test account and does not have to be approved in order to use it in API calls on a test account. Note that we recently changed the AdWords UI so that you cannot create a developerToken from a test account, which should help avoid confusion on this going forward. 5. QuotaCheckError.INCOMPLETE_SIGNUP - You need to enter billing information and accept the Terms & Conditions on the NON-test account. You should not have to do this for the test account.
