Hi Mahesh , Reference to below mail , We like to work on both sell side and buy side FIX Automated Certification Test Framework. I am new to finiance domain . We have couple of queries regarding Sell side and Buy side as listed below. 1. who are all Sell side system with examples ? whether they have FIX Interface ? 2. who are all Buy Side system with examples ? whether they have FIX interface ? My Assumption to develop the Test Automation Framework, It can be connected to either Sell side system or buy side system and to test the work flow and message validation is it correct ? Please clarify Thanks in advance. Thanks & Regards, Jagadeesan.M From: Mahesh Kumaraguru [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 20, 2010 9:22 PM To: Harishbabu Nagaraj Subject: FW: FIX queries Hi Harish, In the future I would recommend you to post your query to the FIXProtocol discussion forums at http://fixprotocol.org/discuss/ because I check the FIX website multiple times a day (all my browsers have FIX website as home page), but I do not access emails so many times in a week and there are lot of spam / junk messages and digging thru them to find useful messages is a waste of time. Also there so many other users on the FIXProtocol.org website who could answer your question. Take a look at the image below which shows one FIX connection http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ea/Fix.jpg and explain what is running in machine A and machine B. Also remember that FIX engine would talk to a FIX engine and presently most FIX engines use TCP for FIX sessions. Are you creating a Sell side or Buy side test simulator / framework? Regards, K.

We have couple of queries regarding this i.) Will the following setup be sufficient for this ? 1. Desktop machine (A) running open source FIX engine (sample AUT) 2. desktop machine (B) running our test framework 3. A is connected back to back with B 4. The test client we develop interacts with the FIX engine using SOAP over HTTP calls. ii.) If we are able to validate all the xml interactions between the test client and FIX engine as per the FIX specifications, can we claim to have performed conformance testing for the FIX implementation ? Thanks in Advance.
