I think it is as Dave tried to explain, the test load also simulates the voltage demand of a particular diode...
As you know, if the supply voltage is not enough, then the circuit will not regulate the current properly. So a test load is needed, in conjunction with a proper input voltage. Both together will allow you to properly set the current.
And this is just a good practice, since we use boost circuits as well...
