# TestLauncher

interface TestLauncher : ConfigurableLauncher<T> (source)

A `TestLauncher` allows you to execute tests in a Gradle build.

If the target Gradle version is >=6.8 then you can use `TestLauncher` to execute tests from included builds. Test operation descriptors from included builds work out-of-the-box. You can target tasks from included builds by specifying the task identity path (i.e. `':included-build-name:subproject-name:taskName'`).

However, you cannot use the methods with included builds that don't specify the target test tasks (e.g. `withJvmTestClasses()` and `withJvmTestMethods()`). Those methods configure all test tasks in the root build only.
