Thanks a lot Andy ! I will go thro the documentation.

And yes, I got the error which I was getting previously. By mistake,in Project.xml 
<unit test> tag did not have a package name which was giving me error. I corrected 
that...

Thanks a lot again !

I'd suggest that you familiarise yourself with JUnit. ... www.junit.org. What 
you basically need is to define your test files to contain methods called
testXYZ(). The name XYZ has does not need to have any relation to the 
class(es) you are testing ... it is a name only.

Any method called that will be called by JUnit. You can include methods 
setUp() and tearDown() in the Test class as well to set up things that you 
need in your testXYZ() methods. It is customary to terminate each testXYZ 
method with an assert(status) to return to Junit what the result of the test 
is.
