Usually, WP testers test the latest WP development version from
Subversion (see http://wordpress.org/download/svn/).

You should set up a new WordPress installation on your server, with a
separate database. Don't use a productive environment! Then you install
the plugin as described in the release announcement and make a test run.

If you've done that, it would be nice if you could post your expecience
along with lots of specifics about your server environment.

Hope this helps for starters. :)
