Hi Richard, I haven't used it myself, but you might find this thread [1] of interest. In particular, Murray Steele's fork [2] of factory_girl sounds a bit like what you are looking for. Alternatively, David Chelimsky's Stubble [3] might offer an alternative approach, although I think that currently requires a small patch to Mocha.
