Contents of joint testing

The phases of Kanta Services joint testing and the number of test cases vary based on the contents of joint testing.

Joint testing of contents is organised according to the publication schedule of Kanta Services (in Finnish only). The publication schedule states when you can register for joint testing of the functionality in question.

Contents of joint testing in Testain

Registration for all joint testing takes place in the Testain service. For more information, see: Register for joint testing.

On the Testain registration form, first select the Kanta service, after which you can see the contents whose joint testing you can register for. 

Scope of joint testing

The joint testing contents of each service include the basic test set of each content. Not all testing contents are complete. Based on the purpose and scope of implementation, they must be adjusted system-specifically, based on, e.g., the system form and description of architecture.

After the joint testing registration, Kela in collaboration with system suppliers maps the expected content and scope of joint testing for the information system registered for joint testing. This ensures that the testing content is comprehensive and correctly targeted. 

Some joint testing contents include a preliminary test phase where Kela assesses the capability of the information system in question to manage joint testing. 

The number of test cases in joint testing varies based on the testing content.
