Not entirely. That's the second step. The first, is to read the
instructions. The one thing to be aware of is you must recompile any
drivers or apps you did under Buster for the new Testing kernel,
particluarly if you are using Virtualbox. If you've installed dkms in
Buster, it should take care of that on the first boot of Testing.
Then, once all is set sources.list-wise, apt or apt-get update and apt
full-grade or apt-get dist-upgrade. You should use full-upgrade or
dist-upgrade for as long as Testing is testing to be sure you get
everything upgraded. Once Testing becomes Stable, the use just plain
upgrade.
