  4. II. TESTING GOALS AND OBJECTIVES • Test the basic ability to conduct business (order entry through clearing) from alternate/back-up facilities simultaneously • Test disaster recovery capabilities among futures commission merchants, back-office service providers, recovery services providers and trading system vendors • Test the connectivity between exchanges, clearinghouses and their constituents’ back- up facilities (“back-up to back-up”), and confirm member firms’ ability to send/receive information to/from their back-up facilities/interfaces • Test end-to-end processing by exchanges through to, and including clearing houses; process actual test trades, produce test end of day reports with the test data.
