As documented, form_class is supposed to be your form class object, not it's name:

# assuming TestForm is defined in "yourapp.forms"
from yourapp.forms import TestForm

class Test(FormView):
   template_name = "pkm_templates/main.html"
   form_class = Testform

   # XXX you don't need this one since you're
   # bypassing `FormView.form_valid()` and
   # directly returning a redirect...
   success_url = '/thanks/'

   def form_valid(self,form):
       title = form.cleaned_data.get("title")
       fkey = form.cleaned_data.get("fkey")
       instance = Buildkb.objects.create(title=title,fkey=fkey)
       for user in fkey:
          instance.fkey.add(user)
       instance.save()
       # Unrelated, but you should NOT hardcode urls
       # - use `reverse()` instead
       return redirect("/")
