Testing windows 10 Universal Application on XBOX One

Is it currently possible to test a UWP application on my own XBOX (not publish, just test on my own personal XBOX One console)?

Based on MS's faq: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/developers/ID...

"For developers working on Universal Windows Apps, you’ll be able to test your games on a retail Xbox One sometime after the second half of 2015"

However I can not find any good details explaining the process for testing/sideloading applications on an XBOX One. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
