> Unit testing applied to a highly monolithic code

Do you (or indeed anyone else reading) have suggestions for getting other forms of testing in place around legacy monolithic code?

Perhaps this is a fairly ill-posed question without more context.

You can still do Integration Testing with the system as a whole, although it is supposed to be done after Unit Testing. The disadvantage due to absence of Unit Testing will be that it will be difficult it isolate bugs found during Integration Testing. For websites, we use Selenium all the time.
