One definition of a "fixture" comes from the Fitnesse system which is
a framework for collaboration on acceptance testing.
Fitnesse makes it really easy for non-programmers to add assertions
to a set of tests.
Typically the programmers provide a "Fixture" for each category of
testing and the non-programers edit a wiki page to add rows to a
table. Each row in the table on the wiki page is interpreted as a
assertion and when you click the "test" button the Fitnesse framework
executes the Fixture code, passing it the data from each row in the
table.
It's much easier to see than to explain:
