Gmail test accounts for Android Market LVL testing?

I read the instructions on how set up test accounts, but for the life of me I find it hard to believe that I need to go and create real Gmail accounts in order to list them in that "Test 开发者_如何学GoAccounts" box.

In PayPal, for example, I can create as many email accounts as I wish, all contained inside the sandbox, never having to exit the sandbox environment.

Any idea how this goes with Gmail accounts for Android Market LVL testing?

Do I really need to create real Gmail accounts, even if they are only needed for the LVL testing?

Is that legit to have multiple accounts for a one-programmer shop?

BTW, I tried testing with my publisher account but it keeps returning "Allow the user access". So I figured I must have another, non-publisher account to test this.

Looks like that is the case. There is no distinction between a normal Google account and one made for testing purposes.

You can use any Google account as a test account. If you want to own and 
control the test accounts, you can create the accounts yourself and distribute 
the credentials to your developers or testers.
