Are you talking about unit or functional tests?

This sounds like functional tests to me.

This looks more like a unit test to me.

Are you setting the site in the test fixture?  Local utilities can only
be found when you set the site (running zope does this for you when
processing requests) or pass some context to getUtility.

zope/app/catalog/README.txt could be an example.  I haven't looked
deeply, but it seems that it is registering an IIntIds utility as a
global utility, which is much simpler and therefore more suitable for
tests.
