I would rather prefer a mixture between Cyril and rciovati. I think is more simplier, you only have two modifications.

The build.gradle looks like:

android {
    ...
    productFlavors {
        production {
            packageName "package.name.production"
            resValue "string", "authority", "package.name.production.provider"
            buildConfigField "String", "AUTHORITY", "package.name.production.provider"
        }

        testing {
            packageName "package.name.debug"
            resValue "string", "authority", "package.name.debug.provider"
            buildConfigField "String", "AUTHORITY", "package.name.debug.provider"
        }
    }
    ...
}

And the AndroidManifest.xml:
