Quote from http://guides.rubyonrails.org/testing.html

Rails by default automatically loads all fixtures from the test/fixtures folder for your unit and functional test. Loading involves three steps:

• Remove any existing data from the table corresponding to the fixture
• Load the fixture data into the table
• Dump the fixture data into a variable in case you want to access it directly

So I think you need to check those fixtures. Also I suggest you to read that tutorial. It is very well written.
