IT - unless my memory is fading - is short for Imlitir Treanála (Training Instruction), as Dev said

Sort of - They are officially known as DF Fitness Tests. The word "Life Tests" are also used officially but rarely. Not sure what "ITs" actually means but think it is only a colloquial name.

When first introduced, in the 80s/early 90s, they were called LIFE tests (an abbreviation of course for what I don't know).

AFAIK, "ITs" is the Irish abbreviation for Training Instruction (eg TI 07/11).
