Yeah, but you can directly use the subscription name in
wait_for_catchup because we internally use that as
fallback_application_name. If application_name is not specified in the
connection string as suggested by Hou-San then
fallback_application_name will be considered. Both ways are okay and I
see we use both ways in the tests but it seems there are more places
where we use the method Hou-San is suggesting in subscription tests.
