Build (tasks.json):

{
    "tasks": [
        {
            "command": "zig build --summary all",
            "group": "build",
            "label": "build",
            "presentation": {
                "clear": true,
                "echo": true,
                "focus": false,
                "panel": "shared",
                "reveal": "silent",
                "showReuseMessage": false
            },
            "problemMatcher": [
                "$zig"
            ],
            "promptOnClose": false,
            "type": "shell"
        },
        {
            "command": "zig build test --summary all",
            "group": "test",
            "label": "test",
            "presentation": {
                "clear": true,
                "echo": true,
                "focus": false,
                "panel": "shared",
                "reveal": "always",
                "showReuseMessage": false
            },
            "problemMatcher": [
                "$zig"
            ],
            "promptOnClose": false,
            "type": "shell"
        }
    ],
    "version": "2.0.0"
}

Debug launch.json:

{
    "configurations": [
        {
            "args": [],
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "name": "Debug",
            "preLaunchTask": "build",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/zig-out/bin/hello",
            "request": "launch",
            "type": "lldb"
        }
    ],
    "version": "0.2.0"
}

The first task (labeled build) is called when starting debugging from preLaunchTask to run zig build. Debugging expects the CodeLLDB extension.
The second task runs the tests (labeled test) using zig build test.
Enable Build On Save to run zig build check and display all errors in the vscode.
