I'm a little confused with the idea of the testing teams fixing bugs.

Testers aren't usually coders. It's great if they are as they can fix the
bugs 
they find, but in general testing positions are filled by people who want to

help the project, but aren't programmers.

If a tester is a programmer too, I think you'll find that do a lot more
programming
than testing, as shown by our tree instability at the moment ;)
