Correct. Testing can mean so many things though and could include debugging, unit and component testing, integration testing, reading 3rd party code/documentation to understand why your code fails to work as expected. Also documentation of what was expected and what happens... Current crop of programmers seem good at writing unit tests, but poor in terms of overall system understanding and related skills (security, performance, networking, unix tools, databases etc). This is as an EE/developer for last 25 years working often with offshore developers on large projects/accounts.
