I don't see anything in the spec that requires a test operation in a 
patch. So this conforms:

[
    { "add": "/a/b/c", "value": [ "foo", "bar" ] },
    { "remove": "/foo/bar/baz" }
]

Similarly, this conforms:

[
    { "add": "/a/b/c", "value": [ "foo", "bar" ] },
    { "test": "/a/b/c", "value": [ "foo", "bar" ] }
]

Whether those patch docs make any sense is a question of a particular 
use case.
