The more common nominative forms are testaustapa (singular) and testaustavat (plural).

Formation and meaning. Testaustapa combines testausta (testing) with tapa (method), forming a compound that labels a specific way to conduct a test. The illative plural suffix -ihin (resulting in testaustapoihin) signals movement toward or reference to a group of methods, and it appears after verbs or prepositional phrases that require the illative case. In everyday Finnish, you will often find the topic framed with testaustapoihin when the discussion centers on a range of testing methods.

Usage. Testaustapoihin is typical in academic and technical writing when listing or analyzing multiple approaches. It can occur in phrases like testaustapoihin liittyviä kysymyksiä (questions related to testing methods) or when saying that a discussion or focus is directed toward the testing methods. Common examples of testing methods referenced in such contexts include A/B testing, usability testing, automated testing, and simulation, among others.
