This thesis describes a pilot study with the goal of enabling automatic testing in a large legacy system. The thesis contains a literature study comparing different types of testing, a description of the actual work of implementing the tests and a discussion of the experiences of running the tests. The automatic tests proved not to give the expected benefits, the complexity of the system and fragility of the chosen test method made the testing impractical. The maintenance of the tests exceeded the time saved by running the tests automatically instead of manually.
