Almost certainly "the team" have agreed what they're doing, put it down on their test cards, and labelled them A, B, C, D, E...

So, to save lengthy and potentially ambiguous explanations they will simply say to each other "next test will be procedure Delta", referring to the test plan in use that day.

This is pretty standard practice in flight testing, for reasons of efficiency and privacy.
