Senior QA Analyst on D i rect Edge exchange platform (NGX):

1. Matching system -- M E, BSI, F H, QR, T M, TR, D TCC, BOOK.

2. Limit Up and Limit Down (LU L D) -- for all the order types and

components.

3. Routing system -- Smar t Router

4. N ASDAQ Expanded Symbology

• Created testing plan and test cases by working w ith BA, P M and

developer team.

• Created automated Verifix scripts for the test cases with applications

such as M E, F H, BSI, BOOK, Router…..

• Executed regression and new features test cases.

• Created test cases and tested verities order types match

f unctionalities – Limit, Ma rket, Reserve, pegged, midpoint pegged,

stop, D iscretiona ry, Pegged D iscretiona ry, Route Peg, M idpoint

D iscretiona ry Pegged, H idden, M idpoint, I n te rmarket Sweep ( ISO),

O dd Lots etc… vs Re-P r ice Options.

• Created test cases and tested F H process SIP market data feed with

p rotocols CQS/UQD F/CTS/UT DF.

• Created test cases and tested Smart Router on verity routing

S trategies.

• Created test cases and tested D E BOOK w ith Unicast and M ulticast

p rotocols.

• Matching System

• Matching Engine (ME)

T he Matching Engine is the heart of the system responsible for maintaining an

order book and matching opposing orders. When orders can be matched the engine

generates executions. The bulk of the business logic exists in the Matching Engine.

ME Responsibil ities:

• Validation – M atching Engine must perform full validation of all order

messages.

• I mplement Ma tching Rules – A ll matching logic is contained in the engine.

O rder types and matching rules are according to Business Requirements.

• I mplement Order P rotection r ules – T he Matching Engine must prevent

orders t rading through, locking or crossing away markets. ME must process

t he BBO from all protected Market Centers and make decisions on when to

route.

• Generate NGX BBO – T he Matching Engine must calculate and generate a

d isplayed BBO for each t raded name.

• Business Service I n te rface (BSI) – T his a front-end component that

i nterfaces with member systems and send order messages to the ME. The ME

sends order acknowledgements and execution messages back to the front-end.

• I n te rmarket Gateway ( I MG) – T his component receives route out order

messages from the ME and sends to the NGX Smart Router. I t receives order

execution and administrative messages from the Smart Router and sends

t hem to the ME.

• Feed H andler (F H) – T his component sends external market data

(Outbound SIPs CQ/UQ/CT/UT ) into the Matching Engine. The market

data contains the BBO and last sale information for all other protected

market systems.

• Quote Reporter ( QR)– Receives NGX BBO information from ME and

reports to S IP ( Inbound SIPs CQ/UQ)

• T rade Manager T M – Receives t rades from ME, stores then forwards to

Tape Reporter and DTTC L ink Manager.

• Tape Reporter (TR) – Receives t rades from ME via the Trade Manager and

reports to S IP ( Inbound SIPs CT/UT)

• D T TC Link MGR – Receives t rades from ME via the Trade Manager and

reports to DTCC

• Book Feed (BOOK) – Receives all orders related messages from ME and

p roduces the depth-of-book feed.

• Routing Engine (RE/Smar t router) -- Receives all routable orders from

M E through I MG and Route to the Venues with one of the street bound

s trategies ROUT, ROUE, ROOC, ROUD…..

f rom multiple clients and maintain a single subscription to external feed

• I M M- I n ternational Market Maker: convert from foreign quote

• Pink F IXGateway – sends quote to PINK sheet and gets market data

f rom Bridge Feed

• Underlying quote – O riginal quote in foreign currency.

• ESIS - ETrade Symbol Information Server: server provides other applications

(e.g. FIX servers, FIX gateways, RoutEx, IMM WebGUI) with market/symbol

information. It also provides QDS with Bridge aliases.

• I M M T T - is an Excel based application which allows IMM traders to monitor

current security values, apply “adjustments” to the bid and ask prices and see

final values. Adjustments are applied as offsets or overrides, with overrides

taking precedence over offsets.

for Institu tional Routex, F ixServer, and F I X Gateway.

R etail: OMS, RoutEx WEB GU I, Routing engine -SURF, ADPGW,

ACTGW, OSI-Option Symbolygy …

.RoutEx is an Order Management System. I t routes/execute the orders to other

market makers or exchanges. When an order is sent to RoutEx the user is required

to provide the destination where he wants the order to be executed, RoutEx does not

have the abili ty to determine the destination on its own but SURF server does. The

S URF engine will give the clients f lexibili ties to define the routing rules and send

t he user configurable components in to RoutEx, SURF also provides Routex with

t he capability to determine a destination for those orders that do not have a

destination. There are three main levels to the SURF engine. They are Symbol

Routing Rules, Exchange profile and account routing rules. The Routex Web GUI is

a web based application which is the Routex Front End engine.

• Routex WEB GUI Regression Test.

• Setup test environment and made configurations change for RoutEx and

S URF servers failover testing,

• Created and executed regressing test cases for SURF engine based on three

layers routing rules: Symbol, Exchange profile and account routing rules.

• NASDAQ Symbol Changes – Created regression testing cases and executed.

• OSI – Option Symbolygy Changes – Created new feature test plans, test cases

for all the applications who apply for OSI and test them.

• ADPGW – Created new feature – OSI test cases and test plane and executed.
