No, this works, but not the way you expect ... apt will want to
upgrade all your packages to the versions available in testing.

There's a way to prevent this using the pinning feature of apt.  I
haven't tried it yet; there was a post how within the past month
either here or d-devel.  This allows you to stay at testing but
install cerain packages from unstable (for example).
