What about getting rid of State? :) I haven't found any public patchwork project that modifies the default list of states, so I think a static "choices" field on 'Patch' would be a better option. I actually have a waffle.io "ticket" for myself and some work done to do this:

More immediately though, I'm fine with renaming this. Would "Service" be a suitable compromise or are you rigid on "TestStatus"? I really don't like the double-barrel name tbh heh.

I won't do any of this until I get a little more feedback on the feature though, to make sure it's worth my time.
