Is there a way in eclipse to automatically add TODO task eg:- //TODO: TO BE TESTED to the top of the function or class so that i can easily keep track of the changes yet to be tested ?

Do you want to add the TODO when you generate the methods/classes? Then you could use code templates for that. Like // TODO Auto-generated method stub is added when you generate a method you could put any other comment on top of a method. Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Code Style -> Code Templates

Or do you want to add the TODO to all methods/classes which currently do exist? Thats a bit harder, you could write a plugin which does that for you: Eclipse JDT

If that TODO should always be created when you have modified a class or method you could also write an eclipse plugin which monitors the CompilationUnit in the editor. See recordModifications() here

You can edit the code templates and include the TODO comment there. Code templates are located on the preferences dialog

Window > Preferences > Java > Code Style > Code Templates

Unfortunately, this will only help for new methods and classes.
