asked on Apache Redirect/Alias/Default Document?
We have a website hosted on an Apache server. (I am completely unfamiliar with the Apache platform, my experience is in IIS)
Our marketing department wants to publish a URL, www.site.com/directory and they want it to automatically pull up www.site.com/directory/testfile.html
In IIS, I'd just set the default document for that directory to the desired file.
I have no idea how to do this in Apache.

You could just change the name of the file to that of the default document. Wouldn't require you to change anything else.
Or add a symbolic link e.g.
cd /var/www/directory/
ln -s testfile.html index.html
cd /var/www/directory/
ln -s testfile.html index.html
