Stestr stands for Slim/Super Test Repository. It is a fork of the testrepository that concentrates on being a dedicated test runner for Python projects. The generic abstraction layers which enabled testr to work with any subunit emitting runner are gone. Stestr hard codes python-subunit-isms into how it works. The code base is also designed to try and be explicit, and to provide a Python API that is documented and has examples.
