New York-based trading technology firm Aegis Software has added support for European FIX implementations to the latest release of its test software, Client Simulator.
Client Simulator 3.3 is a test package that simulates incoming FIX order flow and is used to assess the performance of order management systems and exchanges.
The system uses a Java GUI for interactive testing and a scripting interface for batch operation and includes spreadsheet-driven automated regression tests, import of production log files to recreate live trading scenarios and load testing with performance measurement and statistics.
The new release also features enhancements for lists, allocations, IOIs, futures trading and encryption.
Norm Friedman, vice president, Aegis Software, adds: "We're already working on support of FIX 4.4, something several of our customers are interested in for fixed income trading."
