Once you go to testing, you will most likely want to stay there...
That being said, you can install packages from stable (some packages are easier than
others), and other sources, but they will have to be integrated with testing.
You'll probably end up waiting for some package from unstable to make it in
once all of the dependancies are satisfied for all 10 archatectures debian
supports.
