I found a few generic things last beta run, and a bigger glitch, but I have a feeling they are(or should) be getting harder to find. Is there any general list of things that should be tested over and over?

The beta forums aren't here. Look at the information you received; there should be information about how to get there. If you can't, open a ticket. From the last beta:

Hello everyone! We’re thrilled by the excitement here over The Elder Scrolls Online beta test. The topic has overwhelmed this section, so we’re starting this thread to centralize all beta-related discussion in one place. Additionally, a few reminders:

• The Elder Scrolls Online beta test is under NDA (non-disclosure agreement); you shouldn’t be discussing details of the test in public places such as these forums, social media, streaming video, et cetera. If you’ve gotten in it’s OK to let people know that, but you can’t say anything else about the test.

• We have a private forum for the ESO Beta; the account information you need to log-in was sent in a separate e-mail from your beta invite.

• If you are having trouble, or otherwise need help; you can check for solutions on our http://help.elderscrollsonline.com/, the help section of the ESO beta forums, by submitting a http://help.elderscrollsonline.com/app/ask, or calling customer support (details can be found in your invite). It’s very difficult for us to help if you ask here or on our social media channels, and chances are any such requests would break NDA.

• If people post other threads about beta, or break the NDA; please let them know of their error politely and direct them to this thread. If content needs to be removed you should report it with the button found under every post.

This thread can be used to discuss publicly available information about the beta. Participants of beta can’t really say anything, but we do want to leave this open for everyone else rather than locking it as an FAQ.
