The FIX Antenna Certification and Testing Service enables trading parties who use the FIX protocol to substantially reduce the time and cost of compatibility testing. FACTS makes it quick and easy for sell-side and buy-side firms to detect and mend a full range of problems related to violations of the FIX protocol specification and application level conventions.
FACTS is a script-based testing service that can be customized to mirror the FIX implementation of any sell side or exchange. It tests both session-level and application-level messages. It is interactive and offers an immediate diagnosis of any problems discovered.
FACTS also features an administrative suite with comprehensive reports on test results and progress. The logs for any attempt conducted at all tests may be viewed in real time. This provides a complete audit trail of testing activity and results.
