You're correct in thinking that tests use a test database that is independent of your formally defined project database. Without knowing exactly which Django tutorials you are referring to, I can only assume that perhaps you:
1) Have defined initial_data.json fixtures 2) Have defined other fixtures that your tests are referencing (likely in their setUp method) If none of the items above are correct, feel free to provide a link to the tutorial you're going through and I'll take a look.
