Testing considerations

The KarmaCheck sandbox and production environments provide simulated data for testing your integrations and service flows. Note the following scenarios and limitations when testing in these environments.

Sandbox limitations

When testing in the sandbox, all email notifications to candidates, such as invitations for candidates to initiate onboarding, are blocked by default from being sent to external email addresses. To receive these emails you must verify email addresses in your sandbox. Once verified, emails to verified addresses are delivered to the real inbox. See Verify sandbox email addresses for details.

​

Predefined SSNs

KarmaCheck supports usage of the following Social Security numbers (SSNs) to return either clean or unfavorable service results on the candidate:

• 111-22-3333: Use this SSN for certain services to be returned as cleared.
• 333-22-1111: Use this SSN for certain services to be returned with results or records that require review.

See the next section for a list of applicable services.

​

Simulated services

KarmaCheck simulates results for a number of services after completion of candidate onboarding or PII entry during case ordering. These simulations lead to a case data completion status (in other words, the service is clear or needs review) for each service. All KarmaCheck environments generate simulated results for the following services, listed by service category:

​

Identity verification

​

Criminal check

​

Motor vehicle record check

​

Occupational health screening

For occupational health and drug screening orders, see Test OHS and drug screenings in the sandbox to choose between simulated results and simulated authorization packets.
