Does the Turing test have anything to do with Turing completeness or Turing machines?

Problem
I am studying Turing machines and Turing completeness and just remembered I saw something called the Turing test. It seems that the Turing test (from Wikipedia)
is a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior
equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human.
while Turing completeness and Turing machine are discussed in the context of the theory of computation. Is there a relationship between Turing complete and the Turing test?
I think they are completely separate topics, but I just want to be sure.

Solution
The relationship exists. All of these were invented by Alan Turing. Alan Turing is the godfather of computer science who laid the solid foundations long before the first electronic computer has even been built. Naming these after him is giving the deserved respect for him, especially since all of these were actually invented by him. His name, again, was Alan Turing.
