Spelling corrections in TESTING.md (#1946)
Fixed a few spelling errors.

- [x] I have disclosed use of any AI generated code in my commit
messages.
- If you are using an LLM, and do not fully understand the changes it is
making to the code base, do not create a PR.
- In our experience, AI generated code often results in overly complex
code that lacks enough context for a proper fix or feature inclusion.
This results in considerably longer code reviews. Due to this, AI
authored or partially authored PRs may be closed without comment.
- [x] I understand these changes in full and will be able to respond to
review comments.
- [x] My change is accurately described in the commit message.
- [x] My contribution is tested and working as described.
- [x] I have read the [Developer Certificate of
Origin](https://developercertificate.org/) and certify my contribution
under its conditions.
