Can't instantiate class in different file PHP

I'm trying to instantiate a class which is located in a different file.

File A tries to instantiate the class located in File B:

require_once($CFG->dirroot . '/mod/assign/submission/example/classes/task/class.php');
// create the instance

$test = new testing();

Here is the class in File B to be instantiated:

<?php
namespace assignsubmission_example\task;


class testing extends \core\task\scheduled_task {      
public function get_name() {
    // Shown in admin screens
    return 'example';
}

public function execute() {   

    echo "hello";

}                                                                                                                               
} 
?>

But I get an error message:

Exception - Class 'testing' not found

Do you know what could be the issue?

$test = new assignsubmission_example\task\testing();

The only point where you don't have to specify the namespace is if you're in the same namespace of the class you're instantiating.
