# factory_girl [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/thoughtbot/factory_girl.png)](http://travis-ci.org/thoughtbot/factory_girl?branch=master)
factory_girl is a fixtures replacement with a straightforward definition syntax, support for multiple build strategies (saved instances, unsaved instances, attribute hashes, and stubbed objects), and support for multiple factories for the same class (user, admin_user, and so on), including factory inheritance.
If you want to use factory_girl with Rails 3, see
[factory_girl_rails](http://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_girl_rails).
