If your talking about learning and pedagogy, that's an entire different subject. When you are working on obscure code, you are not learning how the programming language works at the same time (I hope not). If you do, split the problem in two: learn on one side and apply on the other one.
And yes tests are not the best candidate to learn how to do stuff. The best candidates for this are out of band documents / media / training.
