It is not clear to me what you mean by "test". Is a test the class 
containing the various test methods or does "test" refer to each test 
method? For example, Given the MyTest class mention in my previous post, 
is MyTest the "test" or are the methods a() and b() "tests"?

If the latter, you could try,

public class MyTest {
    Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MyTest.class);

    @Test a() {
       MDC.put("testname", "myTest_a");
       logger.info("a says hello");
       ...
    }

    @Test b() {
       MDC.put("testname", "myTest_b");
       logger.info("b says hello");
       ...
    }
}
