Did the nuclear test ban treaty outlaw all nuclear testing?
Short answer: no. One of the treaties in the 1960's banned above ground testing and all countries (the US, Soviet Union, France, and China) have followed that ban. The US and the Soviet Union agreed, in a separate treaty, to stop underground testing in the 1970's and both have followed that treaty. Other countries, India and Pakistan and possibly North Korea, did not agree to ban all testing and have conducted underground nuclear testing in the last ten years.
