The descriptions of PHPUnit and SimpleTest appear to be outdated in Examples for Developers, e.g. the following in testing.md:

Note also that, currently, using the phpunit tool under Drupal 8 will not find
PHPUnit-based tests in submodules, such as phpunit_example. There is no
suggested workaround for this, since there is no best practice to demonstrate as
an example. There is, however, this issue in core:
#2499239: Use test suite classes to discover different test types under phpunit, allow contrib harmony with run-tests
