Test wiki is running production version of mediawiki, so it's not useful to perform any tests of software which wasn't reviewed and isn't considered stable. It's a last place where sw goes to before it's updated on production sites. Developers can test some configuration changes and scripts to test if it wouldn't break anything. The deployment site on labs is meant to be a place where unstable software and development version is running, so that community of wikimedia projects and tech folks can test it while it's still in development and prepare their gadgets to work with future version of software.
