Why we believe in Certification

FIX is sucessful because it brings stability to trading. Certification is the next step in this process, making sure that every trading partner uses FIX in the same way.

What is Certification

Certification is a series of tests run to measure compliance. It is an open standard that encourages a uniform approach to electronic trading.

What's in it for the customer

The average customer loses when faced with ad-hoc choices. Customers can avoid vendor lock-in by insisting on an open standard. A consistent electronic platform will encourage trading partners to differentiate offerings in areas that offer true value to the customer. Customers will save money by not supporting many slightly different interfaces.

The Tepin Flyer Certification Solution

Our certification solution is built on the FIX testing technology found in Ki Trade Validation. Ki is a desktop application from Tepin Information used to create and execute FIX test plans. Ki is used worldwide by leading financial institutions including LatentZero, Charles River Development and the Australian Stock Exchange. Ki is the easy way to test your FIX implementation.

The Tepin Flyer Certification solution harnesses FIX Flyer’s FIX engine to provide leading support for FIX and FIXML. The combination of Ki and the Flyer FIX engine results in a complete, easy to use solution for certification.

This solution and the FPL fixed income test scripts are provided free of charge to all FPL member firms.
