+Fixtures are instances of ActiveRecord. As mentioned in point #3 above, you can access the object directly because it is automatically setup as a local variable of the test case. For example:
<ruby>
-# this will return the Hash for the fixture named david
+# this will return the User object for the fixture named david
users(:david)
# this will return the property for david called id
users(:david).id
-</ruby>
-
-Fixtures can also transform themselves into the form of the original class. Thus, you can get at the methods only available to that class.

-<ruby>
-# using the find method, we grab the "real" david as a User
-david = users(:david).find
-# and now we have access to methods only available to a User class
+# one can also access methods available on the User class
email(david.girlfriend.email, david.location_tonight)
