what means is_static? It's not connected to test_name in any way and
please use reverse fir tree variable ordering

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/maintainer-tip.html#variable-declarations

So either use a variable name which makes it clear that it is related to
test_name (something obvious like: name_allocated) or do

       char *test_name, *default_name = TEST_NAME;

and do test_name = default_name; in the error path and then check for

    (test_name != default_name)

Whatever you pick will be better than the non-obvious is_static.

Thanks,
