The problem IMO is the word "framework" which implies some kind of
daemonic machinery.  The frameworky bit of XTF is quite small; mostly,
it is a suite of test cases.  "Xen Micro-VM Test Suite" maybe ?

(I think "verification" is inaccurate because to me it implies formal
methods, static analysis, or the like.)

"CI (continuous integration)" is the keyword that many people will
have for osstest.

I would suggest

  (This is not the Xen Project's CI / Continuous Integration /
   automated push gate system.  For that, see
   <a href="wiki">osstest</a>.)

or something.
