Thanks for providing the domain name in question (testa.eu).

Indeed, port 43 whois shows no nameservers - neither does the web based
whois on whois.eurid.eu, though the name does exist in the 'eu' registry
system.

Dig gives me nothing either...

$ dig testa.eu ns +short
$ dig testa.eu ds +short

If there are no Nameservers for testa.eu in the eu zone (which appears
to be the case) - then DNSSEC in this case is a Red Herring. There is
nothing to validate.

It's possible to register a Domain in EU without supplying Nameservers.
I guess this is so people can either reserve a name for future use or
block anyone else from ever having it without the complications of
setting up Nameservers. This seems to be the case here.
