We recommend the below:

Installing the beta release on your non-production sites using these instructions.
Running through the testing flows outlined in the Jetpack Testing Guide.

As you’re testing, there are a few things to keep in mind:

Check your browser’s JavaScript console and see if there are any errors reported by Jetpack there.
Use “Debug Bar” or “Query Monitor” to help make PHP notices and warnings more noticeable and report anything you see.
