Is there a way to test certain features before they go live to users? - such as displaying the categories on the home page or a new description of an existing category, without this change directly affecting the live system?

You could set up a staging environment to test out changes before committing the same to production. Themes & Theme components have a Preview button that can be used to try out the theme or theme component before enabling it for all users.
