If you’ve included fixtures in your unit test:

class UserTest <  Test::Unit::TestCase
  fixtures :users

… the data will be available using:

users(:johnny)

A fixtures object behaves like a hash but is actually a method. It is a “hash with special powers“. To get Johnny’s surname you would do:

users(:johnny).surname

The YAML fixture might look something like this:

johnny:
  id: 2
  first_name: Johnny
  surname: Smith
  email_address: jsmith@jsmith.cc
