Depends on what you define a test package.  You can just upload a new package
and run regen without running promote.  That will only update setup_test.ini
that is only used when setup is invoked with the -t switch (which is what
setup_test.bat does).  It will have the new package available as update.
Beware that others might meanwhile run promote (eg. the nightlies).

Or you change the setup.hint of the package and add curr:, prev: and test: with
the version numbers of the current, previous and the version of the package to
want to make available for testing.   After running regen and promote the old
package (curr) will still offered by default, but the test version will be
available when you switch to Exp (last radio button) in the installer.

But in both cases the test packages go to the same directory as a regular
package would.
