Blizzard has announced three Beta Test Weekends that will occur ahead of Cataclysm Classic's release on May 20th! These tests will include two weekends' worth of Raid testing and one weekend of Tol Barad PvP Battleground testing.

Hello!As we head towards our Cataclysm Classic launch in late May, we’re planning some special test weekends in the Cataclysm Beta.

May 3-6 – Cataclysm Raids Test 1

We’re opening the doors to the new raids that will launch shortly after the expansion, and your testing will help to ensure it’s a great experience.

Take on the pit Lord Argaloth deep in the prison of Tol Barad.
Battle the cult of the Twilight’s Hammer in Bastion of Twilight.
Storm the personal lair of the Windlord in Throne of the Four Winds.
Survive the gruesome draconic experiments and the reanimated Nefarian, son of Deathwing, in Blackwing Descent.

May 10-13 – Tol Barad Battleground

Tol Barad, once an outdoor PvP zone, has been reimagined as an instanced 80 v 80 battleground, similar to Wintergrasp in Wrath Classic.

We’re also planning a Brawl with the Blues event for Tol Barad. We’ll let you know exactly when.

May 14-17 – Cataclysm Raids Test 2

We’re planning a second raid test to make sure we’re ready for raids to open shortly after launch.

This weekend will include the same raids as weekend 1.

Thank you for all of your testing and feedback. Read more on wowhead.com
