Yep I also like some of those names, but we've got to consider 
discoverability.

On the other hand of course, I think "Veritas" sounds a lot better 
than "xTest". I'm fine with giving the test framework such a name, it just 
shouldn't be forced on the user. The tool-view should be called "Testing" 
imo, but maybe it could show a fancier name within it.

Greetings, David
