BAO, development and testing

[jeproject]

I have developed a product for economic developers to map buildings and sites onto a map. My customers are now asking for data overlays onto the map such as BAO is the perfect solution.
Here is my concern: During the development phase where I will be testing my code against the api, am I going to be charged the retail rate for a subscription and limited to 300 reports during testing? I ask because it could cost a fortune to develop modules if I get charged every time I hit the server. Please share your thoughts.
