VeriFIX® is a comprehensive regression & performance testing, and simulation system that allows users to test positive and negative use-case scenarios within buy-side or sell-side FIX applications. VeriFIX® can be leveraged during several stages of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) to assist FIX developers during regression testing, testing new FIX functionality (FIX engine, OMS), quality assurance (QA) testing, certification, and post-deployment maintenance.

VeriFIX® gives users the following high-level functionality within a single, java-based application:

• Verify FIX compliance and measure performance of buy-side and sell-side FIX applications.
• Create valid, invalid, and malformed FIX messages to test positive and negative test cases.
• Test applications utilizing FIX versions 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4 and custom exchange/ECN destinations
• Quickly create and customize user-defined fields and message types.
• Create message templates that contain static data, session context data, and dynamic data.
• Test FIX applications using FIX session-level test scenarios.
• Automate testing of complex scenarios with a single click of the mouse.
• Provide automated response generation for buy-side and sell-side
• Generate malformed FIX messages and send the messages to the counterparty.
• Generate message templates using raw FIX message log files.
• View real-time inbound and outbound FIX message flow.
• Drill-down into individual FIX messages (inbound or outbound) to view individual field data.
• Customize the display of field and message data to highlight validation information and message detail.
• Create customized workspaces to perform interactive (click-based) testing and certification.
• Utilize the system in a platform-independent batch mode to perform stress testing.
• Auto-generate responses to inbound messages based on user-specified criteria.
• Perform math functions on inbound and outbound messages to auto-generate data in subsequent messages.
