The test versions (beta and alpha) are released through the play store in exactly the same way as the production versions. They can become the "production version" without change. They use the existing library, if by "library" you mean CC's database.
The only way to run a test version and a production version at the same time is to use two devices. In addition, you cannot easily revert to the previous production version because as far as your device is concerned the test version is a newer production version. On the other hand, we haven't ever had a situation during testing where CC's database was damaged beyond repair. I have had times where I needed to release a fix within hours of a previous release, but even that has been very rare. And indeed, it happened once with the production version.
Bottom line: there is some risk. Many people are unwilling to accept that risk, even if it is small.
