A while ago someone proposed to rename the 'testCompile' configuration

also rename the testRuntime configuration then. But I'm not sure to what.
'runTests' sounds nice, but is kind of inconsistent with the normal
'runtime' configuration. 'runtimeTests' is another choice. What about
the 'test' task? Should we rename it to runTests? Then it would be
consistent with the configuration and somehow more expressive than
just 'test'.
Thoughts?
It feels to me that the names of the configurations should be nouns, and
the names of the tasks should be verbs. That is, the name of the
configuration should reflect what the configuration means, and the name
of the task should reflect what it does.
The only change you've suggested above that really works for me is to
rename the 'testCompile' task (and only the task) to 'compileTests'. The
'testCompile' configuration needs a better name, but I'm not sure what.
