Perhaps the OP needs a clarification. Arch Linux is a rolling release, you usually get latest software versions for a regular Arch install. For my taste sometimes the versions come to the repository too fast (at the moment I take a rest from Arch Linux, but I still recommend to use it and will use it in the future myself again). It's not comparable to testing of "release distros", were for stable releases software sometimes is outdated for the needs of some users and developers.

When you are experienced using testing is helpful, to test new packages, since this would help the community. As long as you're a novice, you very unlikely will benefit from using testing.

pacman -Syuu ;)
