 There are no specific test case scripts; members are encouraged to create their own test cases.

  • Please use realistic prices and volumes
  • Please trade the instrument series you normally would trade on
  • Production ids should be used and normal trading software should be used for market making etc.

Extra Cascading test arranged Friday, 10th of February

  • An extra cascading test for members that wish to verify their FIX or OMnet based integration is offered on Friday, 10th of February. The test is executed using dummy instruments If you wish to participate in this test, please send an email to clearing.market@nasdaqomx.com no later than by 10 a.m. CET Thursday 10th, 2012.

 

Limitations in testing

Applications

Members should be active in the test environment with relevant applications. E.g. If you wish to use both Trading Workstation and Clearing Workstation in production please do so also during MWAT. In cases where 3rd party software dependencies exist, please ensure they are included in the MWAT.  In particular, if your application is using the FIX protocol, please order ports from memberservices@nasdaqomx.com. Examples are front-office applications like ORC, Trayport and CQG. Examples of back-office applications are Brady and Navita.
