      The Clearing House published a test script for testing Post-Trade Processing on FECPlus (see CH Advisory #12-532). Firms should use this high-level test script, in addition to their own test scenarios, to verify their readiness for the Production Launch.
       
      The Clearing House will check in periodically with firms on their testing status and to offer assistance with testing. Please contact CME Clearing Services (CCS) with any questions related to FECPlus testing or the overall FECPlus migration.
