It is possible to depend on a test artifact to achieve the same, but unfortunately not transitively.
Mixing test utilities into the main artifacts seems undesirable, since they are only needed for tests. It may give more food to the shading monster also.. So it is probably better to create a dedicated test tools artifact that qualifies as transitive dependency?
