These testers determine the conductance or inverse of internal resistance and then infer cranking amps on an auto battery.

They do not consider whether the battery can sustain this discharge over the 10 to 15 sec that may be needed to start a poorly tuned car. Also this does not indicate if the battery can sustain the car for a reasonable time while driving if the alternator fails.
Carbon pile type testing is therefore the better test for this.
