DNA Testing- feedback, please...

If my (male, first) cousin does a cheek swab for DNA testing, what conclusions can be made from the results? Will it only provide names of others in the database of those that have added their DNA to that list? Can it determine (a % of) possible lineage connection to those names, or any other connections?

I would like to find some ancestors/descendants that could be of some help with the "walls" I have hit in my genealogy research. My grandparents came from Italy and not only is the language a big handicap in my quest but, getting any connections to their parents (and if siblings) has proven to be vague at best.

Any feedback/thoughts/opinions... would be greatly appreciated.
