I don't think Mark Forkner ever claimed to be a Test Pilot. He was the Chief Technical Pilot on the 737 MAX and nothing more as far as I know. Boeing has a lot of pilots of which some do flight test while others have other duties assigned. Not sure but I believe he started in Flight Training-Airplane which is simply another assignment meant to get the product out the door and in the hands of the customers.
It should be noted that his 737 MAX assignment offered very little opportunity to fly the actual airplane.
