Hmmkay I suppose it could get confusing for some. The current 'xTest' it is
then: not totally dull and covers it pretty good. x = generic, test = test.
Veritas does sound way nicer though ... At least for me funny names do stick
better. For instance I dont seem to forget what the following names stand
for, after making the association once:
sublime == ui
plasma == kwidget
dolpin == kexplorer
krita == kpaint
okteta == khexedit
marble == kearth
anyway, enough about a name! :)
