@CacheableTask public class Test extends AbstractTestTask implements JavaForkOptions, PatternFilterable
Executes JUnit (3.8.x or 4.x) or TestNG tests. Test are always run in (one or more) separate JVMs. The sample below shows various configuration options. 
apply plugin: 'java' // adds 'test' task

test {
  // enable TestNG support (default is JUnit)
  useTestNG()

  // set a system property for the test JVM(s)
  systemProperty 'some.prop', 'value'

  // explicitly include or exclude tests
  include 'org/foo/**'
  exclude 'org/boo/**'

  // show standard out and standard error of the test JVM(s) on the console
  testLogging.showStandardStreams = true

  // set heap size for the test JVM(s)
  minHeapSize = "128m"
  maxHeapSize = "512m"

  // set JVM arguments for the test JVM(s)
  jvmArgs '-XX:MaxPermSize=256m'

  // listen to events in the test execution lifecycle
  beforeTest { descriptor ->
     logger.lifecycle("Running test: " + descriptor)
  }

  // listen to standard out and standard error of the test JVM(s)
  onOutput { descriptor, event ->
     logger.lifecycle("Test: " + descriptor + " produced standard out/err: " + event.message )
  }
}

The test process can be started in debug mode (see getDebug()) in an ad-hoc manner by supplying the `--debug-jvm` switch when invoking the build.
