Correct. You don’t know the labels to the Test data, so the library expects the images to be there without any labels or (in subfolders). You can think of Test Folder is very similar to Kaggle Submission (or test).

When evaluating, you can compare the True Labels with Test Predictions to score the model. But you should not tune the model based on this result, otherwise Test is no different from the Validation set and you might end up choosing a model that’s biased towards the Test set.
