# Using additional test types with Test Suites (Incubating) Sample

version 8.14.5-20260321040636+0000

| You can open this sample in an IDE that supports Gradle.

This sample shows how to add additional test types to a JVM project in Gradle. Your project may have many different kinds of tests—​unit tests, integration tests, functional tests, etc. A JVM project in Gradle has a single `Test` task, but other tasks can be added to represent each of these test types using the Test Suite Plugin.

| This sample shows how to adopt an existing sample for use with Test Suites.

| Test Suites are an incubating feature, and the details described here may change.

In this sample, we are testing Java projects with JUnit5; however, this applies to other JVM languages as well.

Concretely, we add a convention plugin in `buildSrc` to share the integration test setup between multiple subprojects:

buildSrc/src/main/kotlin/myproject.java-conventions.gradle.kts

    plugins {
        java
    }

    version = "1.0.2"
    group = "org.gradle.sample"

    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }

    testing {
        suites {
            val test by getting(JvmTestSuite::class) {
                useJUnitJupiter("5.7.1")
            }

            val integrationTest by registering(JvmTestSuite::class) {
                dependencies {
                    implementation(project())
                }

                targets {
                    all {
                        testTask.configure {
                            shouldRunAfter(test)
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

    tasks.named("check") {
        dependsOn(testing.suites.named("integrationTest"))
    }

buildSrc/src/main/groovy/myproject.java-conventions.gradle

    plugins {
        id 'java'
    }

    version = '1.0.2'
    group = 'org.gradle.sample'

    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }

    testing {
        suites {
            test {
                useJUnitJupiter('5.7.1')
            }

            integrationTest(JvmTestSuite) {
                dependencies {
                    implementation project()
                }

                targets {
                    all {
                        testTask.configure {
                            shouldRunAfter(test)
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

    tasks.named('check') {
        dependsOn(testing.suites.integrationTest)
    }

And apply it in an application project:

application/build.gradle.kts

    plugins {
        id("myproject.java-conventions")
        application
    }

    dependencies {
        implementation(project(":list"))
        implementation(project(":utilities"))
    }

    application {
        mainClass = "org.gradle.sample.app.Main"
    }

application/build.gradle

    plugins {
        id 'myproject.java-conventions'
        id 'application'
    }

    dependencies {
        implementation project(':utilities')
    }

    application {
        mainClass = 'org.gradle.sample.app.Main'
    }

And in library projects:

utilities/build.gradle.kts

    plugins {
        id("myproject.java-conventions")
        `java-library`
    }

    dependencies {
        api(project(":list"))
    }

utilities/build.gradle

    plugins {
        id 'myproject.java-conventions'
        id 'java-library'
    }

    dependencies {
        api project(':list')
    }

These additional tests can be executed with the `integrationTest` task or as part of lifecycle `check`:

    $ ./gradlew check
