## Class Test

- java.lang.Object
- - org.gradle.api.internal.AbstractTask
  - - org.gradle.api.DefaultTask
    - - org.gradle.api.internal.ConventionTask
      - - org.gradle.api.tasks.testing.Test

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Comparable<Task>, org.gradle.api.internal.DynamicObjectAware, org.gradle.api.internal.IConventionAware, org.gradle.api.internal.TaskInternal, ExtensionAware, Reporting<TestTaskReports>, Task, PatternFilterable, VerificationTask, JavaForkOptions, ProcessForkOptions, org.gradle.util.Configurable<Task>

      public class Test
      extends org.gradle.api.internal.ConventionTask
      implements JavaForkOptions, PatternFilterable, VerificationTask, Reporting<TestTaskReports>

  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.

       gradle someTestTask --debug-jvm

      This listener will NOT be notified of tests executed by other tasks. To get that behavior, use `Gradle.addListener(Object)`.

    - #### addTestOutputListener

          public void addTestOutputListener(TestOutputListener listener)

If the listener was registered with Gradle using `Gradle.addListener(Object)` this method will not do anything. Instead, use `Gradle.removeListener(Object)`.
      Parameters:
        `listener` - The listener to remove.

    - #### removeTestOutputListener

          public void removeTestOutputListener(TestOutputListener listener)

      Unregisters a test output listener with this task. This method will only remove listeners that were added by calling `addTestOutputListener(org.gradle.api.tasks.testing.TestOutputListener)` on this task. If the listener was registered with Gradle using `Gradle.addListener(Object)` this method will not do anything. Instead, use `Gradle.removeListener(Object)`.
