Description [edit section]

Our test variables are quite long, and mostly there are not conflicts between them during a test run. Using the full test name as a prefix makes the variable names long, and harder to maintain.

However, having the variable names be unique per test means that it's easier to identify them among all the global environment variables of a Fuego run. (TVAR does this for the variables that come from a spec file.)

Notes [edit section]

Note that this might not be true for test variables placed in a board file. or used as a dynamic variable.

There's already a precedent for variables that are used in one test, but are used with no prefix, and might show up in a global context, and that is dynamic variables like PROGRAM_DBENCH.
