Service tests[1] are the main unit tests, and use mock implementations of the data store interfaces.

Data (DAO) tests[2] are generally run across every implementation using only the public interface. This helps me stay sane with the mock implementations.

The API tests[3] are integration tests, and use Go's excellent httptest package to boot a real server and execute real HTTP commands.

Notice it runs "go test $(shell glide nv)"

`glide nv` is a command that gets you all packages except the vendor directory https://github.com/Masterminds/glide#glide-novendor-aliased-...

then read the go doc for test https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Test_packages:

> 'Go test' recompiles each package along with any files with names matching the file pattern "*_test.go".
