Before registering for joint testing, please review the joint testing process as well as the parties and responsibilities.
In addition to joint testing according to the publication schedule, Kela also organises joint testing that aims to certify systems that have not yet taken part in joint testing for the first time. For more information, please see: Certification of a new system.
To register for joint testing, use Testain
To register for Kanta joint testing, please use the registration form in the Testain service. The registration form is used to select the Kanta service and the test content to be joint tested. You can register for the joint testing of several different sets of test content at the same time.
Log in to the Testain service using suomi.fi credentials. You can find more detailed information on the user authorisations and login to the Testain service at: Testain.
Attach a system form to the registration form that corresponds to the system version being joint tested. If necessary, the Kanta joint testing may also request a Kanta joining architecture description.
After registration
The joint testing expert will process the registration form and its attachments as soon as possible and contact the system provider. If necessary, an initial meeting will be organised to discuss, among other things, refinements to the test content being joint tested, the target schedule for completing the joint testing and guidance on how to use Testain.
On the basis of the registration, the system provider will be able to access the test cases in Testain. Testain also includes test content that does not involve a preliminary test phase.
In the transition phase, not all test cases have been transferred to Testain when registering for joint testing. In such a case, the joint testing expert will instruct the system provider on how to report the preliminary tests performed for the joint testing. For a while, Testain will be used in parallel with the workspaces on the Kumppanit website.

The Kumppanit workspace to be replaced by Testain
Logging in to the Kumppanit website requires a user ID. During the transition phase, it is possible to register for joint testing in Testain, but the test cases will be reported in the workspace on the Kumppanit website.
The workspace for joint testing has been divided into the entities of the Imaging Data Repository, the Patient Data Repository, Prescription service, and the Client Data Repository for Social Welfare Services. Logging in to the workspace takes place through the following links:
- Imaging Data Repository (kumppanit.kela.fi, in Finnish only)(opens new window)
- Patient Data Repository (kumppanit.kela.fi, in Finnish only)(opens new window)
- Personal Health Record (kumppanit.kela.fi, in Finnish only)(opens new window)
- Prescription (kumppanit.kela.fi, in Finnish only)(opens new window)
- Client data repository for social welfare services (kumppanit.kela.fi, in Finnish only)(opens new window)
The Kumppanit workspace link will direct users to the workspace login page, where they will be prompted to enter their email address and password. After a successful login, users are redirected to the workspace. Users of the Kumppanit workspace will automatically be emailed a new password every four months.
