Typicality in FitNesse pages, or Unit test constants. Sometimes it
will be in some XML test-configuration file, or some binary image file
that gets loaded by the tests.

One of the goals of testing is to keep your test data under control at
all times. One of the keys to doing this is to keep the test data as
small and focussed as possible. Therefore, instead of having one
large test database that you run all your tests on, you have many tiny
little sets of test data.
