Something not mentioned yet is running your tests in the same environment as they'll be deployed. If people dev on Mac OS X it's good to run your tests on the dexact deploy target.

For code that'll be distributed widely, e.g. an open source library, that might mean a test matrix of different language versions, different DBs, and so on.
