Not necessarily.  That the approach I use.  I have *TEST lib(s) at the
top of the library list followed by the *PROD libraries.

I create duplicate copies of production files _that will be updated_
into a *TEST library high in the library list.  Then I do a STRDBG
UPDPRD(*NO).  Any files that are read only are then used from the
production library.  By saying UPDPRD(*NO) on the STRDBG command, the
system insures that I didn't miss any.

FWIW, I have QTEMP at the top of the user portion of the library list. 
The system evidently considers QTEMP a *TEST library because I can
create and update work files in QTEMP while in debug mode with
UPDPRD(*NO).
