Draft descriptions of the test cases were released on 23rd April 2004 in two documents - buy side and sell side. These are posted in the Public area on the Certification Working Group Page, and will also be posted on the GFIC page. Comment is requested by 6th May 2004 when there will be an open meeting on the content of the documents. Scope is currently limited to US T-bonds, T-bills, and T-notes; US FADN and FAC (secondary market non-callable); and US Corps (secondary market non-callable, non-convertible). Please send responses to Max Mansur (max.mansur@swift.com).
The test cases establish a baseline message flow with the basic business model. With that in mind, we are soliciting review from those with Fixed Income expertise to answer the following questions:
-
Do these test cases meet that basic goal and does the FIX FI community agree that this describes the basic market practices for FI use of FIX?
-
Are there any basic test cases that are missing?
-
Are there any FI specific requirements around the security types that are in scope that are missing?
-
Are there any other comments on the CONTENT ONLY (e.g. coverage, etc.) aspect of the document?
