The XTF name has been around for 2 years now.

Out of curiosity, I searched for it on google, and found my written
documentation as the top hit.

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=xen+test+framework&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=InxeV52HDYHc-QG0-qN4

The snippet summary includes the first line of the introduction, "This
is both a framework for creating microkernel-based tests, and a suite of
tests built using the framework", which should be sufficient
clarification for anyone with questions.

I am not completely averse to changing it, but I don't see an
alternative which is any better or clearer.
