Testauksille

Testauksille is a Finnish noun form used to indicate that something is intended for testing. It is the allative plural form of the noun testaus, meaning testing, and it commonly translates to “for testing” or “to the testing activities.” The allative suffix -lle marks direction toward or purpose, so testauksille signals use or allocation for testing rather than for general use.

In practice, testauksille appears when specifying intended use or destination related to testing. For example, Ohjelmiston testauksille on varattu erillinen testiympäristö (“An isolated test environment has been set aside for testing of the software”). Another example is describing materials or data intended for testing, such as datasets or documentation allocated for test purposes. The construction is especially common in technical, QA, and research contexts.

Translation and usage notes: there is no single direct English equivalent beyond the phrase “for testing” or “intended for testing.” The form is a grammatical tool in Finnish to highlight purpose or allocation, rather than a standalone concept with a separate English name. It is used for plural or multiple testing activities, but may also appear in singular contexts when speaking about testing as a general purpose.
