What is the process for certification and connectivity with the CTE?
The Amex provides a CTE for client API testing and certification. Before any client application can connect to and use the AEMI production system, it must pass an Amex certification process using the CTE. Certification confirms that the client application using the API conforms to the minimum Amex requirements with respect to design, implementation and quality assurance (testing). It gives both the Amex and the client a reasonable level of assurance that the two applications can communicate reliably without jeopardizing the stability of AEMI. Once certified, the client application is permitted to connect to the AEMI production environment to perform trading-related functionality. No client application is permitted to connect to the AEMI production environment without successfully passing the appropriate certification.
