One idea for testing is to install and regularly use and update a Debian
unstable. It will break sometime (but rarely enough) but you will catch
some bug before they hit testing, and if you report them, they will
won't hit testing and will (probably) be solved.

Note that before doing this you need some way to recover when something
went too bad (it happen really, really rarely, but it will). And you
need some knowledge of internal working of Debian (that will be very
similar to the same for Ubuntu)
