No, it was about testing only. I will only do a full test of the app when it's ready to be released, otherwise it makes no sense, as the app/product/flow still changes a lot. It's like prototyping a game, you try it a few times, see what's fun, what's not, and keep iterating. Only once you think it's good enough, you can start fully testing and polishing it.
Even after release, I don't see reasons to check the code if everything works and people are happy with the app.
This is worded as if knowing how the code works and testing it is hinged on it being released.
