This project was originally called Testacular. I was little confused at first, thinking it was a late and flat April fool's joke.

Great. The name alone has stopped me from using it.

And here is where the decision was made to rename it: https://github.com/karma-runner/karma/issues/376

Wow. My humor is pretty crude but I'd never made the connection to testicles before. I'd just assumed it was a portmanteau of "test" and "spectacular" but I am British and the latter word still sees some usage ;-)

As an American it took... perhaps 5 minutes or so to scratch my head at the name :).

Yup. If you look at the docs, they haven't finished renaming it yet. They seem to be using 'karma' and 'testacular' interchangeably.

Pity, Testacular was such a ballsy name.
