Define multiple tasks in VSCode

Question

I have seen that it is possible to define a task in the VSCode. But I am not sure how to define multiple tasks in the tasks.json file.

Thanks to this thread, I now have c# / dnxcore50 build and test debug etc working in vscode on osx with this:

{
"version": "0.1.0",
"command": "bash",
"args": [
],
"tasks": [
    {
        "taskName": "xbuild",
        "args": [
            "./src/Service.Host/Service.Host.csproj"
        ],          

        "showOutput": "always",
        "problemMatcher": "$msCompile",
        "isBuildCommand": true
    },
    {
        "taskName": "dnx",
        "args" : ["-p", "./test/Service.Tests.Unit", "test"],
        "isTestCommand": true,
        "showOutput": "always"    
    }      
]
}

I am sure linux would be basicly the same. The only thing that is anoying me is having to maintain the .csproj files just for debuging. I am looking forward to a way to debug with dnx, though I have not looked for a couple of weeks now.
