Please read the project name in context of the main project, eclipse.

"The Eclipse Test & Performance Tools Platform Project"

Sounds good to me [btw: although it should possibly be "Test & 
Performance Tools _&_ Platform"]

but...

The newsgroup path:

news://news.eclipse.org/eclipse.test-and-performance

is not similar to the existent newsgroups, which use abbreviations (swt, 
cdt, jdt ...).

http://www.eclipse.org/newsgroups/index.html

Please imagine a TPTP subproject "dummuy-sub-alpha" which would need an 
own newsgroup.

the resulting newsgroup:

news://news.eclipse.org/eclipse.test-and-performance.dummy-sub-alpha";

With an abbreviation:

news://news.eclipse.org/eclipse.tap.dummy-sub-alpha";

-

The abbreviations TAP has (beneath pronounceable) one hidden benefit.

It implies (at least indirectly/incorrectly) testing (TAP = Test Access 
Point)
