  • OCP code must never mention NCT. It can not require it as an argument, constant or return something from NCT.
  • NCT will be added to the nextcloud-deps/OCP package for easier testing with psalm

This sounds like this is about API for testing not API that is in testing state.
Maybe "Unstable PHP API"? As "unstable" is a more common term for this kind of API in general?

(At least for me "testing" is more like we provide our \Test namespace)

Was wondering similarly, also for the lib/testing/ folder in Server. Other options could be Experimental or Preview (colliding with previews/thumbnails)

Totally agree on those points, but from previous vocal discussions:

  • testing is above unstable (at least from debian's point of view)
  • 'Experimental' would means NCE to be the name of the namespace, which is an already used acronym,
  • 'Preview' would also conflict,
  • 'devel' can be confusing too, as it can be interpreted as API for development ...

unstable might the only valid term that does not conflict that much and also reflect the 'unstable'/'prone to changes'
