There is this big hairball of under-tested code. (Nothing new here)So the question is, which to tackle first - unit tests, or functional tests.
Functional tests - for all the reasons you and others have given.That said, unit test on existing code will sometimes be worth the cost, especially on code that you are making changes to - it's not a yes/no issue. In general though, I agree that functional tests will give you a better return on investment.
