1: open up mainmenu.map in DotHalo(http://ditchers.net/files/dothalo_v1.0b3.0.rar).
2: Go to the matg tag, and load up globals\globals.
3: In the tag editor, under the multiplayer maps drop down box, choose the first empty slot. Under value and next value, enter a number such as 994. Then enter the name you want displayed for your map in all the name boxes, and description in the description boxes. for scenario name, add scenarios\multi\testmap.
4: Save your mainmenu.map, fix the encryption, and upload to your xbox.
5: Open the map you want to test in a hex editor, and scroll to where it says scenarios\multi\whatever. Change that to scenarios\multi\testmap.
6: Save it as testmap.map, fix the encryption on it, and upload testmap.map to your xbox.
Then, when you have a new map you want to test, just repeat steps 5 and 6.

Hope this helps.
