FIX Testing & Certification - Certify

Certify, the integrated test suite from Fixbytes, is a web-based application designed to provide analysis, functional testing, production log replay, regression testing, load testing And client certification capabilities for FIX infrastructure. Certify is a comprehensive web-based test and certification suite (for both buy and sell side) that reduces the overall period of implementation and cost to the company and hence increases speed-to-market for the deployment of FIX protocol-based systems through various testing mechanism. Certify gives the complete test platform, with interfaces to the internal systems and with external counter-parties.

Certify consist of number of test modules like:

Order Generator: This module provides a comprehensive browser-based user interface (GUI) to send the all types of application messages to counter-parties, for generating the Order.

Scenario Generator: This module generates scenarios in the form of simple scripts and messages, which can be send to counter-parties as per the scenarios, expected result can be verified with the responses from counter-parties and any application level mismatch can be notified in the form of user-defined reports.

Regression Tester (Production Log Replayer): This module takes the input from production logs and simulates the exact (existing) production scenario by simulating the buy-side and sell-side and replays the messages as in the production environment, generates the report for any mismatch in FIX tags. This is a very useful feature for ensuring the existing system behavior is same after changes in the internal systems. Benchmark logs can be created and it can provide the feature for automatically comparing other test logs against these benchmark logs.

High Volume Message Injection (Load Tester): This module provides the mechanism and platform to load-test the existing FIX-based application by ‘firing’ the FIX messages with configured time-interval and no. of messages. This can readily test the existing FIX engine of the capacity. It also provides the feature for uploading the messages from text-file and ‘firing’ them in configured time-interval. It can also generates the user-defined report for the define user parameters in the system.

Certify will consist of a FIX Server with web based GUI for session monitoring, interactive test scenario creation, administration, test case execution, result validation, test report generation, auto test scheduling etc.
