Like Chris pointed out, the testing documentation is a good start point 
if you want to automate running tests.

Beneath using TFTP for the Beagle you could also use a JTAG debugger to 
load the application if you have one. As far as I know, the tester is 
quite flexible regarding how to load an application.

If your JTAG debugger has an GDB interface, you could use about the 
following commands for beagle (you have to adapt "monitor reset" to 
whatever causes a reset with your JTAG hardware):

define reset
	echo -- Reset target and wait for U-Boot to start kernel.\n
	monitor reset
	# RTEMS starts at this address.
	tbreak *0x80000000
	# Linux starts here.
	tbreak *0x82000000
	continue

	echo -- Disable watchdog.\n
	set *(uint32_t*)0x44e35048=0xAAAA
	while (*(uint32_t*)0x44e35034 != 0)
	end
	set *(uint32_t*)0x44e35048=0x5555
	while (*(uint32_t*)0x44e35034 != 0)
	end

	echo -- Overwrite kernel with application to debug.\n
	load
end
