The Certification Environment mirrors the CME production environment, including in scale functionality and messaging. Customers can use this environment for devleopment and maintenance testing for front- and back-end systems. New functionality is launched in the Certification Environment simultaneously with production launch.

Certification Environment features:

• Weekly window for production-level order entry and market data replay
• Straight-through processing from CME Globex to CME Clearing
• Simultaneous front- and back-end systems testing.
• Support for mock trading sessions during the week

Documentation on the testing and certification environments and connectivity is available online in the CME Globex SDKs.
