Two types of test environment are offered:
- The EDU environment is an environment which mirrors the current version of the KDPW_CCP system and is used to test software compatibility with the operating system. It is dedicated to educational and verification purposes, offering stable conditions similar to those in the production environment.
- The TST environment is a test environment designed to prepare, test and verify new services and new or modified features of services released in production before they are implemented in the production environment. The application test environment does not have to be fully compatible with the production environment currently provided by KDPW_CCP.
KDPW_CCP does not ensure that changes are made to adapt the test environment to the specific requirements of participants or non-participants. Access to the test environments provides support for KDPW_CCP services by allowing users to understand and adapt to the technical and organisational requirements associated with participation in these services.
KDPW_CCP does not provide 24/7 access to the test environments and may impose technical interruptions in access to the test environments.
An entity which is a participant in a KDPW_CCP service gets access to the test environment of that service based on the institution code issued to it as part of its participation. An entity which is not a participant in a KDPW_CCP service should get an institution code in accordance with the procedure described below in order to access the test environment.
