National Futures & Options Exchange
Challenge
- This major exchange was porting several large back-end clearing systems from mainframes to J2EE technology
- These applications are performance critical and must perform flawlessly under the anticipated peak load
- This client was also trying to establish development & testing best practices for current and future J2EE projects
Solution
- Redpoint performed a thorough review of the existing CME source code and identified critical bugs and areas for improvement
- Detailed performance testing was used to isolate and optimize "hot spots" in each of the applications
- Redpoint documented a set of recommendations for improving the J2EE development process at CME
Result
- Issues identified during the technical review were able to be fixed before the clearing applications went into production
- This client now has a practical methodology for testing and measuring the performance of J2EE applications
