Bear in mind that an activity diagram is just like a state diagram but only
holds activities - so the two are very closely related.
In your state chart - you could have activities listed within the state (so
in your example, have a state called In Test, with the activity Testing
listed in the state icon.
Also - you can have states and activities on an activity diagram - see the
UML User Guide, p260 in my copy, "Because an activity diagram is a kind of
state machine, all characteristics of state machines apply. That means that
activity diagrams may contain simple and composite states, branches, forks
and joins." I did not see a diagram example of activity icons on a state
chart - but did not look that hard :-)
