If you are using a non standard table name by means of +set_table_name+ in your model:

class MyClassName < ActiveRecord::Base
set_table_name "mytablename"
end

then you will get +FixtureClassNotFound+ errors when you try to use fixtures in you unit tests. To solve this use +set_fixture_class+ inside your test: 

require 'test_helper'
class MyClassNameTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase
set_fixture_class :mytablename => MyClassName  
end

and rename your fixture file to +mytablename.yml+
