CASCADE Testing and Simulation
Clearstream Europe AG (CEU) offers clients a testing and simulation environment.
Client simulations for upcoming releases and projects
Via the client simulation environment (IMS23), CEU settlement services can be tested on clients' demand. IMS23 is connected to the T2S Pre-Production environment (UTEST). This setup enables a continuous end-to-end testing for clients acting in ICP and DCP mode.
If required, CEU offers guided client simulation and related test cases for upcoming releases dedicated to the enhancements developed by Clearstream. The timelines for guided simulations will be announced together with the request to register. In some functional areas, dedicated test cases will be offered by CEU to support the simulation of business cases where specific test environment requirements are necessary. The participation in the guided client simulation is optional and not a prerequisite for admission to production on the launch date.
The following client simulation is currently planned:
- Unified for New Opportunities: Further details regarding client testing windows in 2025 will be announced in due time under Unified for New Opportunities.
- Clearstream General Meeting Service: Details of the upcoming testing windows were published in Announcement C25031. The testing is open to clients interested in adopting the ISO 20022-based Clearstream General Meeting Service as well as clients preparing to transition from the General Meeting Service via ISS and seeking to validate their integration with the Clearstream General Meeting Service.
Details regarding Clearstream client testing activities in the ClearstreamXact client simulation environment OCCT can be found under ClearstreamXact testing environment.
