I've been having that kind of trouble with adding tests to legacy 
code systems.  Legacy code is remarkably hard to test, so the tests 
are complex and often need a lot of work.

But that's not Test Driven Development (TDD).  That's a problem that 
someone needs to come along and "do the other half of the job" that 
the legacy developers couldn't be bothered to do.
