However the fundamentals are the same - it may need a little adjustment. I will still want to automate as much as possible with NUnit to prevent regression bugs. But a part of the magic with unit testing is as you apply it it often forces you to make the code a lot clearer and more modular, and as such writing tests is almost always a major part of my design process. At the same time the tests will start to act as the documentation for the code so that another developer may step in more easily. Highly recommended book: "Working Effectively with Legacy Code" my Michael Feathers. Bunch of techniques on how to work with external libraries.
