The word "alpha" describes the test compose because TC1 by itself could apply to either the pre-alpha, pre-beta, or pre-final releases. So if alpha isn't used as a descriptor, then you need to come up with something equally unambiguous to replace the current naming scheme, which I find unambiguous.

Are you proposing something like:

ATest1, ATest2, ATest3, and then once alpha release criteria are met, the last test is renamed to Alpha? And likewise there would be BTest1, BTest2, BTest3, and the last one, which meats beta release criteria, it is renamed to Beta?

*shrug* OK. I am however confused on the distinction between TC's and RC's.
