Of the three Hyades test types, two
of them (JUnit Test and URL Test) are automated types. You can use
the JUnit test type to perform automated regression tests on your Eclipse
based application, and there is doc available in the help system for how
to do this. However, based on the other post from Mitch at informatixinc,
I infer that you are really looking for a GUI functional testing tool (as
opposed to a unit testing tool.) Hyades does not currently offer
a GUI Functional test type.
Please see my response to Mitch for
a discussion of using Rational XDETester to do GUI functional testing of
Eclipse based applications.
