 Description   

Even Gradle's own build could leverage this. Basically the functional requirements between different types of testing (unit, functional, integration, system, acceptance, etc) are different. Would be great to have built in support for wiring up the needed configurations and sourceSets for these other types of testing as well, not just unit testing ("test").

Especially as GRADLE-994 gets implemented, this becomes very very usable and powerful.

One option would be to provide different type of source sets. Java, UnitTest, ... If you declare a unit test source set, the test task would be automatically created and be wired with the confs. The same possibly for other types of test.

In this vein, I tried what we discussed in terms of "matrix" style tests in terms of doing "apply" on a matrix.gradle file. This "works" up until the point that the dependencies are used. I build a classpath for the test task using

{configuration}.plus( some other stuff ). {configuration}

is the Configuration which contains the jdbc driver dependencies (I debugged and verified the proper dependency instances are there). However, running leads to an error that the JDBC driver class could not be found. Is this perhaps an issue that the dependency is not "resolved"?

Sorry, I was using the wrong method to add the dependency. I had been using project.getDependencies().module(...); switching to project.getDependencies().add(...) fixed this.
