I know +1 postings are not really welcome.  However, in this case:  I
never really understood why we need these codenames.  IMHO some
marketing thingy which I tend to ignore.  I fully agree with Phil that
these can lead to confusion and the usage should be restricted to not so
important use case.  Please leave testing as a name as is - I'm using it
most of the time on development machines and it serves a really good
purpose.  Those who do not like it can easily ignore it.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
