The Continuous Testing Plug-in for Eclipse is a tool to help developers test their codebase more efficiently. After specifying the tests that will run, the plug-in executes those tests every time code is changed that will affect the outcome. This way, developers catch errors more quickly.
The plug-in also adds functionality to the Eclipse JUnit Plug-in. Support for test filtering and test prioritization are now present. Also, the results of past tests can be viewed in the JUnit viewpart.

1. It ensures that no one on a development team has to have the discipline to remember to run the unit tests or to remember to run an external build script.
2. Test errors are caught *really* early making sure that if they get broken there isn't too much code to have to back out.
3. If everyone can see the tests break real quick, everyone sees the benefit of unit testing much faster and the tests are kept up to date and comprehensive.
Furthermore this plugin adds several neat features to JUnit such as being able to dynamically re-order the tests based on criteria such as: which tests failed last time.
This should be a standard part of the next release of Eclipse.
Make sure you pick up the latest version.
