fixtures which are named after their function aren't a bad idea,
however, I tend to do this within my tests:
it "Should have a valid name" do
Fruit.create(valid_fruit_fixture.without(:name))
end
So having fewer valid fixtures, and remove/add values as i need them
to test.
so having some kind of shortcut for name and the name of the fixture
mightn't be horrible.
