Debian testing is pretty much the worst option to choose. It can be as "unstable" as unstable, while being nearly as out-dated as a stable at points.
If you want to help Debian test the next release and actually report issues choose Debian testing.
The "testing" name is one of the worst decision of Debian community IMHO. It misleads people.
I very much agree with this, it also scared me off Debian Testing initially as well.
I wonder how many potential users have been scared off by the name... Maybe Debian devs like it that way, less annoying desktop users to support.
It looks like you have never used Debian testing (or used it 10 years ago ?). The testing phase is in Debian Sid and _not_ in Debian testing.
