There's no word yet on what kind of testing will be done on raids, but if I were to take a guess myself… I'm wondering about Rare Candy XL. These coveted items, which allow trainers to power up Pokémon above Level 40, are every bit as rare as they are useful. While the raid scene has been a bit dry recently with the boring, full-month raid boss of Kyurem, buffing Rare Candy XL could be a way to keep raids interesting even when the Legendary Boss is less than appealing. Just a theory! We will report as soon as we know what this includes.
