FIX connectivity, providing users the flexibility to support a range of
testing needs. HKMEx uses FIX 4.4 messages for participant connectivity and
clearing and settlement through LCH.Clearnet. Integration, Quality Assurance
and Support teams of the HKMEx will use VeriFIX(R) to test order as well as
post-trade messages, providing end-to-end testing for all FIX traffic in and
out of the HKMEx-trading infrastructure.
CertiFIX(R) is a web-based, automated certification system designed to
simultaneously certify multiple counterparties. CertiFIX(R) provides
automated, 24x7 certification infrastructure, burst certification testing for
new product launches and a centralized repository for client certification
results.
