The test server will give you a heads-up on upcoming UI / XML changes, but coding based on the test server changes isn't a good idea.

example: exp bars made from the file from the test server when they added vitality made people made people crash to desktop when they camped and switched characters when used on the live servers after they moved the patch over from the test server to the live server since they had changed some things between moving from test to live.

When SOE added Vitality, some modders went ahead and coded their UI for the vitality additions based on what was on the test server. However, SOE made slight changes to their files when they published the update to the live servers. This caused those people who coded for the test server vitality to have bad files for the live server version.
