[SalesForce] Importing RecordType as test data with Test.loadData()

I am trying to import some test data before tests with a csv file and the Test.load() method.
I am not being able to figure out how to declare the load method for the RecordTypes I have in a file.
Here is what I have:

static testMethod void init() {
    List<sObject> recordTypes = Test.loadData(?????, 'esb_record_type_test_data');
    List<sObject> accounts = Test.loadData(Account.sObjectType, 'esb_account_test_data');
    List<sObject> contacts = Test.loadData(Contact.sObjectType, 'esb_contact_test_data');
    List<sObject> customers = Test.loadData(Customer__c.sObjectType, 'esb_customer_test_data');
}

What should I declare in?

Record types are not separate object. Adding extra column in your CSV file with RecordTypeID should work. So while inserting from Test.Load(), record will be created based on record types.
Alternately if there is change in recordtypeid use below syntax to get RecordtypeId and logic.

Example code:

Id RecordTypeIdValue = Schema.SObjectType.Account.getRecordTypeInfosByName().get('Development').getRecordTypeId();

for(Account accountrecord : accounts) {
    accountrecord.Recordtypeid=RecordTypeIdValue;
}

Hope this helps.

[SalesForce] Test method with query string

Because you need to insert an Account prior to running your tests.

Simply do the following prior to the test:

public static testMethod void TestChurchName()
{
    Account TestAccount = new Account(Name = 'Metropolitan Baptist Church-Largo, MD', 
        Customer_ID__c = '1290' /*Populate the account with other fields*/);
    INSERT TestAccount;
    PageReference pageRef = Page.ChurchHistoryDev;
    Test.setCurrentPage(pageRef);
    ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().put('id', TestAccount.Customer_ID__c);

    ChurchHistoryDevController con = new ChurchHistoryDevController();

You can always put @isTest(SeeAllData=true) at the top of your test. But when you are running the test, you must always have the record there or the test will fail. That means, if someone accidentally deletes the record, your tests will fail. That includes when you are deploying because when you deploy to an org, those records won't exist. That's why I recommend the approach above (unless you cannot create the object in Apex - like a PriceBook).

[SalesForce] Inserting Test.loadData in into Salesforce DB for tests

The documentation says:

loadData(Schema.SObjectType, String)

Inserts test records from the specified static resource .csv file and for the specified sObject type, and returns a list of the inserted sObjects.

so the objects are already inserted when the method returns and so have new ID values assigned and can't therefore be inserted again. If you want to change any values you can update or upsert.
