Many tests need files located in a data folder. As those usually contain large data, they might not be located in the same repository as the source code. That implies that the build system doesn't know its location. So some kind of configuration is necessary.
Options are:
* Field in the GUI (should be marked as "advanced" and only shown if necessary)
* Get environment variable
Instead of adding this mechanism only for data folders we can also think about a generic system of how projects (e.g. test projects) can ask for additional configuration information (e.g. data folder).
