ActiveSupport::TestCase is what gets you the activerecord fixture
stuff (eg the fixture accessor methods). It's also the thing that
loads fixtures. ActionController::TestCase (which derives from
ActiveSupport::TestCase) handles the boiler plate of setting up the
test request for you, and creates the get/put/... methods you use in
functional tests.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by the table alias being ignored,
but if you mean that the fixtures ignore the set_table_name in your
models that's because fixtures don't work that way - the fixture file
name should be the name of the table, not the name of the model
