Starting a TCP Protocol FIX test

The TCP FIX test establishes a TCP connection (three-way handshake), simulates a FIXv3 session, and closes the TCP connection.

To start a TCP FIX test:

1. In Performance Testing, expand Protocol > TCP and click FIX.
2. Click Create New.
3. Configure the network or select a network template. See Using network configuration templates for how to create a network template.
4. Select a Certificate Group, if applicable.
5. Click OK.
6. Configure the test case options described below.
7. Click Start to run the test case.

FortiTester saves the configuration automatically so you can run the test again later. You can also click Save to save the test case without running it.

Tip 1: You can copy an existing case and change its settings to create a new case. In the case list, click Clone to clone the configuration. Only the case name is different from the original case. Tip 2: You can add or edit a comment when the test is running. This comment can be used to search for the test result in the Results page. This is useful especially when the test runs for a long time.
