Testing is to find bugs and issues that exist in a product or title.
Quality Assurance is to prevent bugs and issues from being introduced into a product or title.
So the purpose of Game Testing is to find enough issues that can get fixed so that the product or title can ship.
The ship date is determined by several factors: money, schedule, contracts and one of those is the quality of the game. Testing helps raise the quality of the game (in most cases).
So, the purpose of testing is to find enough bugs that can be fixed within the schedule to make the product or title the best quality it can be before other considerations force it to ship and customers buy it.
