Follow the guidelines available here :

http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide#TOC-Testing

and here

http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide#TOC-Configuring-the-Structure

Summary :

As the first link says you have to rename your test directory as instrumentTest so Studio can automatically detects the sourceSets for your test project

or

Alternate is you can have your tests directory in root(with you main directory) and sources in a manner like tests/java, as the second link says

instrumenttest.setRoot("tests")

in sourceSets configuration under android tag

From the document

Note: setRoot() moves the whole sourceSet (and its sub folders) to a new folder. This moves src/instrumentTest/* to tests/* This is Android specific and will not work on Java sourceSets.
