Alternatively, we might consider something along the theme of "River 
Delta" where a river meets the ocean.

Before a River opens to the wider world, it goes through the Delta.

Also, the test results represent a kind of a "delta" between what an 
implementation is and what it needs to be.

I would have also suggested "confluence", where one river meets another, 
but that's already taken.   I suppose there might be confusion over 
"delta" as well, but I think it's more manageable because it's not an 
actual product name.

Just another suggestion for where things could go, to make up for my 
previous contribution.   :-)
