    async.waterfall([
            (cb) => request(app).get('/api/accounts').expect(200, cb),
            (results, cb) => { assert.ok(results.body.length, 'Returned accounts list'); cb(null, results); },
            (results, cb) => { assert.ok(results.body[0].reference, 'account #0 has reference'); cb(null, results); },
            (results, cb) => request(app).get('/api/plans').expect(200, cb),
            (results, cb) => request(app).get('/api/services').expect(200, cb),
            (results, cb) => request(app).get('/api/users').expect(200, cb),
        ],
        (err, results) => {
            app.closeDatabase();
            assert.end();
        }
    );
});
