No test version of twitter. The best way is to create a test account and
protect it's updates to keep it off search. Request account/ip white-listing
where necessary. You may get rate limited but it's good to understand your
limits you can work inside during testing (rate limits reset every hour).
It's unlikely to get "blacklisted" as long as your not DOSing twitter or
spamming people.
