in reply to What is the best way to add tests to existing code?
First place I'd start would be to write a test for every bug in your bug database, closed or not. For one thing, you guarantee that the bug that was fixed 4 years ago is still fixed. The other reason is that you start to write tests for every subsytem that's being used. (If it isn't being used, then who cares if it has bugs or not?) This gives you ideas for tests that aren't specifically for bugs in your bug tracker. Maybe the bug is a specific instance of a general case and the fix didn't fix the general case.
Other than that, you pretty much have the list down.

I shouldn't have to say this, but any code, unless otherwise stated, is untested
