  - ### addTestListener

    public void addTestListener(TestListener listener)
    Registers a test listener with this task. Consider also the following handy methods for quicker hooking into test execution: `beforeTest(Closure)`, `afterTest(Closure)`, `beforeSuite(Closure)`, `afterSuite(Closure)`

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

    Parameters:
      `listener` - The listener to add.
    Since:
      4.4

  - ### addTestOutputListener

    public void addTestOutputListener(TestOutputListener listener)

    Since:
      4.4

  - ### addTestMetadataListener

    Unregisters a test listener with this task. This method will only remove listeners that were added by calling `addTestListener(TestListener)` 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)`.
    Parameters:
      `listener` - The listener to remove.
    Since:
      4.4

  - ### removeTestOutputListener

    public void removeTestOutputListener(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.
    Since:
      4.4

  - ### removeTestMetadataListener

    @Incubating public void removeTestMetadataListener(TestMetadataListener listener)
