Getting Started

The AutoCert+ tool is an automated testing tool for validating application functionality. It provides a web interface for using CME Group certification scenarios.

To facilitate the process of connecting a customer application to CME Globex, CME Group provides a dedicated certification environment to allow customers to test their systems before they complete certification.

This Help system accompanies the AutoCert+ CME FX Spot+ test suite for certifying your application. For CME customers who want to trade FX Spot+ EBS products, iLink 3 certification via AutoCert+ is required. MDP 3.0 certification is not required, however, CME Group strongly recommends that client systems test FX Spot+ products in the New Release environment before the production launch.

For CME customers who want to trade FX Spot+ Futures products, MDP 3.0 certification via AutoCert+ is required for their client systems. Certification for iLink 3 via AutoCert+ is not required, however, CME Group strongly recommends that futures client systems test FX Spot+ trading in notional quantity.
