Huh - testing is called "trixie." I always wonder which toy is coming next ...
Debian testing runs in a cycle with their releases. Just after the preceding one (bookworm) came out, it opened to a lot of heavy-lifting upgrades and you're more likely to see glitches. Then they start calling code freezes and stabilize things when they get closer to releasing the next one (trixie) in about two years and you'll see fine-tuning of bugs in the pre-release era and testing will be a lot more stable for any innocent users, then comes the grand release announcement and the next new cycle.
