If you want to run stretch, then you should put "stretch" in your
sources.list. Currently this is the same as testing, but when stretch
is released, you will be running Debian 9, and you will stay there until
you choose something else.
If you want to run PERPETUAL testing, never stabilizing, always
half-broken, then you should put "testing" in your sources.list.
If you put EITHER of these things in your sources.list, EVER, then you are
NOT running jessie. It is completely nonsensical to write a phrase like
"testing in jessie". You are running testing, or you are running jessie,
or you are running neither.
