I would say "for trying out"; "testing" is rather ambiguous in this context.

It's not a URL, but just another line in sources.list.

But I myself prefer to just download .debs automatically with the
usual three lines:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster main non-free contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster-updates main contrib non-free

… and a cron job, then peruse and install them; and I treat
point releases in just the same way.

Cheers,
David.
