Description
Current tests are using the fixtures for generating test data. This causes a couple of problems:

* In case of database schema updates, fixtures need to be regenerated manually.
* Adding new data is a tedious-repetative 5-step process (dump db, syncdb, load fixtures, update, dump fixtures)

Instead of using fixtures, it would be better to use factory_boy that is well tailored for creating sample data:
