I am unaware of this. Could you please answer the following questions.

For a user running stable and thinking of shifting to testing, What are the
changes to be done (in terms of getting security support)?

Is the security suport for testing distribution officially supported by
Debian? For example, backports is not officially supported. Though many stable
users are very content with it.

thanks
