Are you kidding? You never wondered why the first mission that landed on the moon was called Apollo 11 and not Apollo 1?
AS-201: First launch of the Saturn IB rocket, suborbital testflight of the Apollo command module
AS-203: first orbital launch of the Saturn IB, without the Apollo spacercaft
AS-202: suborbital testflight of the Apollo command module
Apollo 1: Should have been the first manned flight, but during tests on the ground a fire break out and all three astronauts died
Apollo 4: First launch of the Saturn V, test flight of the Apollo command module, unmanned
Apollo 5: testflight of the moon lander in earth's orbit, unmanned
Apollo 6: Second unmanned test launch of the Saturn V
Apollo 7: first manned launch of the Saturn 1B into earth's orbit
Apollo 8: first manned flight around the moon, so without landing
Apollo 9: manned test of the moon lander docking maneuver in earth's orbit
Apollo 10: manned flight to the moon, test of the moon lander, but without landing
Apollo 11: first landing
So actually much more testing than Artemis:
Artemis 1: First flight around the moon, unmanned
Artemis 2: First manned flight around the moon
Artemis 3: Landing on the moon.
