I think that testing shows how well a student is being taught because it gives the best avenue for a student to demonstrate knowledge. Teachers have thought this for a very long time, and it is the reason that you are tested and/or asked to demonstrate knowledge at the end, and during near every course you will ever be in. Testing can take many shapes, so even in an art class you can be assessed to see how well you understand and are able to demonstrate a certain concept (like cubism or interpretation). Not every test has to be fill in the bubble, and testing itself can be a learning experience.
