If you use symfony's WebTestCase, there's actually a very easy way to load your fixtures. Your fixture has to implement the FixtureInterface; thus, you can call it's load() method directly in your test's setUp() method. You just have to pass an EntityManager to the load() method, which can be aquired from the symfony container:

public function setUp() {
    $client = static::createClient();
    $container = $client->getContainer();
    $doctrine = $container->get('doctrine');
    $entityManager = $doctrine->getManager();

    $fixture = new YourFixture();
    $fixture->load($entityManager);
}
