See https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting.
Then answer the questions.
 
If you enable extra architectures (see below), you might want to limit the architectures of the main repositories to amd64 (if you use that). So do this instead:
 
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y
cat <<EOF >/etc/apt/sources.list
deb [arch=amd64] https://deb.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb [arch=amd64] https://deb.debian.org/debian-security testing/updates main contrib non-free
EOF
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade -y
apt autoremove -y
 
== Make apt prefer testing by default ==
 
If you are going to use multiple repos (e.g. debian-ports below), make testing the default like so:
 
echo 'APT::Default-Release "testing";' >/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/91prefertesting
== Add support for new (hardware) ports ==
apt-get update
Consider limiting the new ports to a specific architecture. Also consider limiting the main repositories to amd64 (if you use amd64).So do this instead:
apt-get install -y debian-ports-archive-keyring
