According to 'man 5 apt_preferences' testing is the only correctly defined suite in your configuration file:
the Archive: or Suite: line

Pin: release a=stable
the Codename: line
names the codename to which all the packages in the directory tree belong. For example, the line "Codename: bookworm" specifies that all of the packages in the directory tree below the parent of the Release file belong to a version named bookworm. Specifying this value in the APT preferences file would require the line:
