You should test all of it all of the time. Revisions, enhancements, and new development should all be treated the same: 100% coverage where possible. You see, revisions and enhancements can break existing code that worked - so they should be represented by test scenarios that are added to an existing body of scenarios. All scenarios are then tested.
