My wife is a professional recipe writer for magazines, books, restaurants, meal-kit services, and companies.
She absolutely tests the recipes. A huge part of her work is testing for other people in addition to writing them etc. Testing itself is a HUGE industry.
I don’t want to say anything bad about a family member, but please treat your comment as a reflection on her, and not of recipe writers in general.

Just to echo this, recipe tester is a profession in and of itself. There are publishers where recipes are not tested, but more established and trusted ones absolutely do.
