I choosed "dunno" because that was what Dscho suggested in this  
thread:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/53584/ 
focus=53595

It seems to me short and understandable at the same time.

More meaningfull would be "untestable" or "cannottest" or
"canttest" but it's much longer, while "good" and "bad" are short.

Ugly?  Neutral?

"Ugly" has a certain charm to it but would probably not translate
well.  "Limbo" would be another such candidate, probably with better
translatability.  But while some of those have some geeky appeal, I
really think something reasonably plain like "undecided" would be
better in the long run.

"undecided" sounds good to me. It should be clear to non-native  
speakers of English (at least, clearer than "dunno").

<personal opinion>
   Another problem with "dunno" is that it might come across as a bit  
unprofessional due to its informality. Yes, you'll find it in most  
dictionaries, but always with a qualifier of "slang", "colloquial",  
"casual", "pronunciation spelling" or similar.
