Running Jessie is a risky business, isn't it ?
:-)

As Steven said, pay attention to not update all your system.

So, an example how to track testing with some packages from unstable:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html#_tracking_literal_testing_literal_with_some_packages_from_literal_unstable_literal


Just add this to the "/etc/apt/preferences" file:
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 100

I have to say unstable saved my system more than once.
