The Board of Trade Clearing Corporation is in the process of implementing a new customer network. This bulletin is a high level overview of the testing procedures that will take place between BOTCC and its member firms. The sequence of testing applications is standard but can be altered to fit a user's individual requirements. Once the application processes have been successfully tested and completed, they will be moved into production. After all of the new processes have been moved to production, BOTCC will keep the old network connection active for a period of two weeks to serve as a backup. After the two weeks have passed the old network connection will be disconnected. Listed below is the BOTCC standard plan for testing applications.
