Welcome to the forums. No, it's not an idiom, to "get testy" means to become short-tempered". Where did you find it?

Thank you so much. İt is from this whole sentence "Wherein things disappears, Alexia gets testy over tents, and Ivy has an announcement," and it was from a novel, I'm trying to translate it form English to Turkish. Thanks again:)

It seems three different things happen in that chapter, and one of them is she gets annoyed about tents, for some reason that you'll learn when you read the chapter.

I'd suspect that it is not a random "sentence" from this novel; it is a summary below the chapter heading -- as Barb has also identified. (Commonly used among novelists in English until the late nineteenth century).

Being a translator, and thus knowing how critical context can be, you must surely have considered giving some in your question, before deciding not to. For future questions I can assure you that we would prefer the context up front in the first post.

There's more that one could say about witty alliterative chapter synopses, but it's not necessary and besides the sentence fragment's function as such is still only a guess.
