Testnet coins do not have any value. So it can be used for extensive testing of vulnerabilities and bugs. If any bugs exists and coins are lost, they are just testnet coins without any value. If the same happens on mainnet, you actually lose monetary value.

@UgamKamat: That sounds like a great start of an answer.
