TestNG tests are currently only executed by the Gradle build if they are located directly in the testng package. Tests in subpackages are therefore omitted from the build. As of the creation of this JIRA issue there are no such tests in subpackages; however, this is soon to change.
Furthermore, the JUnit-based FailingBeforeAndAfterMethodsTests test class is currently not executed because it resides under the testng package which is excluded from the test build target.
