Since the backend is a per-application decision, that decision should be 
made by the main program, not by any library (SLF4J was built 
specifically to allow libraries to do logging without committing to a 
specific backend).

If you want to see log output from your test code, then your test code 
should bind to a backend, yes.

That's why you typically add logging backends to the "test" scope in 
Maven: These are used just during testing and not made part of the 
generated jar files.
