Not "stable", no. If you use "testing" instead of a code name you will
Why ?? I can't understand !
effectively have a rolling release, but it will be a very rocky ride for
about a month after Jessie becomes Stable.

I don't understand it clearly !
I have an simple understanding of Debian development mode !
Jessie ------>> (after a frozen time)
testing stable
I think if I use "stable" or "testing" ,I will sync with corresponding
version , is it ?
This is like the rolling version !
So I don't what the problem is !!!
Here goes, for what it is worth. Someone will correct me if I get it wrong.
Stable is stable. It sits there, more or less unchanged (except for security
updates), until the next Testing is ready and becomes Stable, in one jump,
and the previous Stable becomes Old Stable. Stable (the new one) then just
sits there until .. etc. etc.
Testing gets updated, and the new software moves up, as it becomes available,
until Testing goes into freeze. So it rolls. More or less. Except when it
freezes. While Testing is in freeze, the new software that would normally
have moved up as it was ready, sits in Sid (Unstable). When Jessie becomes
Stable, Testing will no longer be frozen and all the software queued in Sid
will come up at once. Hence the brief turmoil. It will then settle down to
new software moving up as it is ready, until the next freeze.
Testing is always Testing. It does not become Stable. A version (Jessie
next) goes from Testing to Stable, but Testing itself still exists and
continues to roll. It does not get replaced. Stable gets effectively
replaced.
Does that help at all?
