The template for in-progress releases includes a commented-out

I've changed the wording a little and enabled it for when suites are testing:
https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/webwml/webwml/english/releases/stretch/index.wml?view=log
This will be online in a few hours.

to have a link to
https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/releasenotes
This happens automatically when a new stable release is made but my
above changes are to the stretch page.
This is the first time I've had reason to use a release still designated
as "testing". [In the past I've had bandwidth constraints limiting me to
purchased DVD sets.]
1. At _this point_ in the release cycle is there reason to prefer URLs
specifying "stretch" over ones with "testing"?
2. Is there a document (or blog or ??) targeted at someone using a
"testing" release for the first time. My interest relates to the move
from MySQL to Mariadb - I've already been pointed to links to the fine
details of the change. I'm asking if there something with a broad
perspective on dealing with any testing release.
TIA
