Should my unit tests for existing methods fail?

Viewed 612

In TDD or BDD, we start from failing our unit tests, then fix the methods under test to let the unit tests pass.

Often times, at a new job, we need to write unit tests for existing methods. Probably not a good practice, but this does happen. That's the situation I am in now.

So, here is my question: Should I let my unit tests for existing methods fail? Thank you.
