Connect/Logon

This series of tests covers the initial connection to the MFClient and MFAPI Server followed by ungraceful disconnections initiated by MF.

Heartbeating

Step	Action	Expected Result	Result (if different from expected)	Sign Off
1	Client connects (no market data/trading subscription) to MF	MF confirms client is connected; client confirms the connection
2	Client confirms receipt of heartbeat messages from MFAPI Server	MF confirms heartbeat interval setting

Timestamps

TODO UTC Timestamp 2.1.1 Requirements This test is mandatory for MIDFX and eSpeedFX. 2.1.2 Purpose This test verifies that your application uses UTC in time of message transmission. 2.1.3 Description 1. Verify that SendingTime (tag 52) is always expressed in UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) in all messages.

Logout/Graceful Disconnect

This series of tests covers the logout process and the graceful disconnection from the starting point of an already connected MFClient session

Step	Action	Expected Result	Result (if different from expected)	Sign Off
1	Client connects (no market data/trading subscription) to MF	MF confirms client is connected; client confirms the connection
2	Client subscribes to EUR/USD form one feed any feed (market data/trading)	Client receives subscription enabled snapshot, followed by incremental market data
3	The Client will end their subscription to (market data/trading)	MF to confirm the Client is no longer subscribed

4	MF start the FeedServer, to enable venue connection	Client is now able to view the feed as available and subscribe to market data on EUR/USD from the same feed.

Sequence Number Scenarios

Seq Num higher than expected (i.e. gap) from both perspectives. Replay requests for missing messages.
