... really :-)

www.debian.org -> click documentation -> click third link to "Debian
Reference" -> Chapter for "2. Debian package management" -> "2.1.3. Life
with eternal upgrades" seems quite basic for me.  It is direct answer:

Also second link to FAQ will lead you to "3.1.10 I have a working
Desktop/cluster with Debian installed. How do I know which distribution
I am running?" where you get indirect answer.

I think we do not give short answer in FAQ for such basic operation
because it comes with some risk and we want people to read related
information.

Oh, you are looking everywhere.  Why did not you narrowed search within
our domain? Why not search on "debian upgrade stable testing
site:www.debian.org" as:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=debian+upgrade+stable+testing+site%3Awww.debian.org

Then you can find links to above mentioned pages.
