Rails - May 2007 - ruby/rails newby needs help with passing parameters to testcases

I''m trying to pass parameters into a Selenium testcase using
Test::Unit:Testcase ... would I do this with a fixture or simply pass
parameters somehow into a class I create like:

myTest = TC_LoginTest.net(param1, param2, param3)

Basically I want to write 1 test that will log into an application I
made as different users and validate the outcome.  The parameters are
user name, password and database.    I''m not really familiar with
fixtures (if that''s what I should be using) or if I should be passing
parameters in a separate test suite file ... not sure.  Any advice or
a website you could point me to I''d appreciate it.

My class is below__________________________________________

require ''test/unit''
require ''../selenium''

class TC_LoginTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
  include SeleniumHelper

  def setup
    @selenium = Selenium::SeleniumDriver.new("localhost", 4444,
"*iexplore", 10000);
    @selenium.start
  end

  def teardown
    @selenium.stop
  end

  def test_doLogin
      #open the special test login page that doesn''t need SSL (since
Se doesn''t like SSL)
      open(''/myapp/utils/specialLogin.cfm'')
      uncheck(name="myChkBox")
      type(name="UName", username)
      type(name="Pass", password)
      click(database)
      # after providing username and password we click the database
button we want to test and validate
      sleep 5
      assert_equal("nickc",get_text("userName"),["User
name doesn''t
match login name"])
     
assert_equal("Developer",get_text("profileName"),["Profile
name
doesn''t match login name"])

  end

end
