Being able to reason about a problem and then work towards a solution in code is a more general skill than just programming or CS. I'm assuming that here, "FizzBuzz" is more of an allegorical example than a literal test question, as it would be rather useless in a test. I'd be more likely to ask someone to write and then optimize an algorithm or implement a simple data structure, and then build on this example with additional constraints or requirements. That has merit. A pure coding test is no better than a typing test. Without the problem, it's a meaningless exercise.
