Update Data Fixtures

This is the procedure to add dummy data to the fixture files.

• Connect to the database in the Vagrant VM. (If MySQL DB is used, this can be done from your host system via the port defined in the Vagrant file.)
• Delete all tables.
• Run the migrations to recreate the tables: python manage.py migrate
• Run the loaddata command to load existing fixtures: python manage.py loaddata mbof/fixtures/dev_data.json
• Make changes to the database needed to exercise application features.
• Save the changes to a fixture file: python manage.py dumpdata --indent 4 mbof > mbof/fixtures/dev_data.json
• Commit the changes to the updated fixture file.
