Expected output: Rest App Server created and tests to be running (when gradlew test is issued)

Alternatives:

The Gradle file for the tests could certainly provide a non-NOP logger. Is the individual logging output useful? We know whether the test suite succeeded or not based on the final statement.

Per the comment above, I believe that we agreed in conversation that the tests don't have to log.

If that's correct, please close this bug. If QA requires the logging, please assign the bug back to me.
