def test\_invalid\_first\_week\_ship\_score  
Swap.find(1).update\_attributes(:swap\_status\_id =\> 1)  
users(:jacob).update\_attribute(:score, 1)  
old\_score = users(:jacob).reload.score  
login\_as :jacob  
send\_shipment\_test(old\_score)  
end

the above example how the reload works  
users(:jacob) is a fixture  
actually what happened whether the fixture data is reload or  
update\_attribute data is reload?  
please explain
