Where did you expect this information to be available? Which links did
you click on ?

You have 2 paths from http://www.debian.org/ :
* Get ISO, then Get through HTTP, then link "testing distribution":
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/

* Other versions, then Squeeze/testing, then installer page:
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/

I consider that http://www.debian.org/releases/ with a link to the FAQ
with more explanations covers that. What more would you like to read on this
page ?
