If at all possible, get it from backports instead of testing. If that's not
possible, your options are to backport it yourself (preferable), to upgrade
to testing, or to set up pinning to limit how much of testing you pull in.

While it's strongly warned against, so long as you pay attention and have
pinning in place to make sure you don't accidentally upgrade other packages
dependencies (especially core packages), any breakage would be minor and
easily recoverable.
