      * Moved all object creation helper methods into Noosfero::Factory
  * Added a new and faster version of create_user.
  * Adjusted some test cases tests to use the new factory methods
    This comprised removing a lot of bad smells from the tests, involving
    eliminating uneeded database hits.
  * reviewed ProfileTest for speed as a case study. The test suite used to
    take ~ 40 seconds to run, now it takes ~ 14 seconds. If we do this to
    all test suites, we can dramatically reduce the time we need to run
    all the tests
  * Added a rake task test:smells to list potential test smells. Started
    with probably unecessary and/or too slow database hits
  * In the end, running all the tests now takes ~ 13 minutes on Colivre's
    development machine, instead of the ~ 30 minutes it used to.
