Creating maintainable test data is hard. Often an entire object graph needs to be created to support the instantiation of a single domain object. This leads to either the cutting and pasting of that creation code, or relying on a canned set of objects that we've grown over time and maintained as the domain objects change. After a while, adding just one more Widget to that set of canned data ends up breaking tests just about every time.
