Can you elaborate?
With objects that are relatively standalone, you can instantiate them easily and plug them into a testing framework. The more interdependent things are, the harder it is.
I think a concrete example of what you're suggesting would help a lot. Pick one small area, show the changes needed, and how you would use the testing setup.
