I also use "regression tests" to refer to the LLVM and clang tests.

See previous reply, --test-style=nightly does it.

The "nt" is a historical accident, we didn't have a good name for the
"test-suite" other than "nightly tests" (and calling it the "test suite"
has obvious problems), so I just started using "nt" to refer to it despite
the broken connotations.
