Those that enable update-testing are expected to deliver feedback to 
bodhi ( bodhi.fedoraproject.org )
and report back to the bug they filed ( if they did ) if their bug got 
fixed and the update work or did not work as expected.

Bodhi is the final filter before package hit's the end-user(s) .

If you are experiencing any bugs then you can try to enable 
update-testing and update just that package
( yum update <package> --enablerepo=updates-testing ) encase the package 
that contains the fix is in bodhi.

If you are on a "production" system then just wait until the updates come.

If you are on a "production" system that has a bug then try update the 
package by enabling update-testing
and if you still encounter the bug report it.

In some cases updates in updates-testing may break your system and eat 
your babies

It's usually in rare cases  but it does happen so enable updates testing 
for a "production" system
or a novice end user(s) might no be such a great idea.
