Select two or three modeling resources and klick Compare -> with each
other. You might have to configure the content types of the modeling
resources in the EMF Compare preferences. Cf.

What do you mean with tests? JUnit tests?

Basically, if you only want to compare two classes of a meta-model, you
will have to use the EMF Compare API programmatically.
See the API Doc for creating a Match...

and performing the Diff from a Match:

The result of a diff is a DiffResourceSet:

Hope that helps!

Cheers,
