Didn't find class "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"

I'm trying to use an instrumented test and I updated my project to AndroidX. But I get the following error while trying to run:

2018-10-09 14:22:29.468 13263-13263/xxx.yyy E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main

My test looks like this:

package xxx.yyy;

import android.content.Context;
import androidx.test.InstrumentationRegistry;
import androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnit4;

import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

import static org.junit.Assert.*;

/**
 * Instrumented test, which will execute on an Android device.
 *
 * @see <a href="http://d.android.com/tools/testing">Testing documentation</a>
 */
@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4.class)
public class ExampleInstrumentedTest {
    @Test
    public void useAppContext() {
        // Context of the app under test.
        Context appContext = InstrumentationRegistry.getTargetContext();

        assertEquals("xxx.yyy", appContext.getPackageName());
    }
}
