User Interface Testing
This check list seems to catch most bugs. We are not going to automate UI testing because it's not appropriate. The application is not massive and is scheduled to be mature in another 12 months or so. Just be sure to execute all the tests therein which takes about an hour if you are adequately caffeinated and focused.
Unit Testing
We have a modest number of python/django unit tests.
We do not have any unit tests for the javascript code.
When to write a test?
Here is when I consider writing a unit test.
When you find a bug, try to write a test that finds it.
If you start the debugger, consider writing a unit test test instead.
This can be expensive and so it is reasonable to debate this point.
Use your judgement.
Often writing a test is super easy and very much helps to prevent regressions.
