Check out the Ruby on Rails Guide to fixtures:
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/testing.html#the-low-down-on-fixtures
Generally, you can create YAML fixture files in the
test/directory and then load them into your database using therake db:fixtures:loadcommand. The full documentation on all the cool things you can do with fixtures is here:http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/Fixtures.html
