AzureRM Terraform provider uses the [Azure SDK for Go](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go) to interact with Azure. It's important that you respect that rule. If you are trying to do something that is not available in the Azure SDK for Go, then you should check if the API is availble in [Azure Service Repository](https://github.com/Azure/azure-rest-api-specs) and open an issue if necessary.

All the imports for the Azure Go SDK services have to be done in the [client.go](https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-azurerm/blob/master/azurerm/internal/clients/client.go) file. It exposes a top level struct, `Client` that exposes all the service client that you may use in a data source or resource to interact with Azure.If the service exist, you can skip this step.

Tests are definied in the `test` directory, aside with data sources and resources. The file name is the same than the one for the data source or resource, with the `_test` suffix.
271+
All tests for a given resource/data source are located in the `test` folder which is a sub folder of the service folder. The file name for the tests will be exactly the same as the resource/data source with the addition of the `_test.go` suffix. For example, if you created a data source for `batch account`, the data source file would be named **batch_account_data_source.go** and the test file would have the name **batch_account_data_source_test.go**.
