Hi Rashi ,

Load testing can be accomplished either using commercially available simulators for FIX (VeriFIX etc). You could also use API level load testing based whether you have access to them or not. One more alternative is to use load testing tools like loadrunner etc for this.

All, we(Wipro Technologies) do different types of FIX testing for our customers in the securities space. FIX Testing is a lively world...
