Greenline Financial Technologies Adds FAST and API Support to VeriFIX(R) 4.5

October 02, 2007

    CHICAGO, Oct. 2 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Leading
electronic trading solutions provider, Greenline Financial
Technologies Inc., announced today the release of the
latest version of its FIX Protocol Testing Suite --
VeriFIX(R) 4.5.  VeriFIX(R) is the most comprehensive
electronic trading regression and performance testing
system available in the marketplace today.   

    VeriFIX(R) is a financial protocol testing application
that reduces costs associated with the development and
deployment of electronic trading systems.  The feature-rich
testing suite can test and emulate all types of customers
including FCMs, trading firms, ECNs, brokerage houses, and
exchanges.  VeriFIX(R) provides an intuitive interface for
simple system testing as well as a robust framework for the
simple design and rapid execution of interactive tests.

    VeriFIX(R) 4.5 supports FAST 1.1 as well as the FIX 5.0
specification.  Positive and negative FAST scenarios can be
created using VeriFIX's standard protocol definition and
scenario editor.  VeriFIX(R) integrates directly with FAST
.XML template configurations, which define the
encoding/decoding rules.  

    An API has been added in VeriFIX(R) 4.5 that allows
users to remotely run scenarios, configure sessions, and
retrieve FIX message and scenario output.  This API can be
used by external test harness applications to drive a
series of tests and retrieve output.  Common actions such
as sending messages, resetting sequence numbers, changing
system variables, and playing scenarios can be requested by
third parties based on VeriFIX's API message specification. 


    The new version of VeriFIX(R) allows users to create
comprehensive multi-counterparty scenarios from production
logs.  It can replay not just the sending of messages, but
also the receiving and validating of responses. 
Synchronization functionality enables users to replay the
logs at any speed as well as manage order of executions
from multiple FIX sessions.  

    VeriFIX(R) 4.5 also contains a new comparison engine
that allows users to compare the FIX message logs across
multiple test runs in an intelligent manner.  The Log
Comparison Viewer provides a visual comparison between two
sets of FIX message logs, allowing the user to specify
inclusion/exclusion rules, reordering rules, and
synchronization options.  The release also includes an
optimized database for maintaining scenario results in real
time and generating custom reports for distribution to
management.

    Braden Janowski, CEO of Greenline Financial
Technologies, said of the new release, "The VeriFIX(R)
4.5 release illustrates Greenline's continued commitment to
innovation in the FIX testing space.  By enabling support
for FAST encoded FIX, VeriFIX(R) 4.5 aggregates the testing
functions for both order entry and market data paths.  We
believe this integration is essential for the FIX community
as it rapidly adopts FAST for market data messaging."
