What a week in London! It was certainly a scorcher this year, with temperatures outside soaring. However, the heat outdoors was matched only by the incredible energy, collaboration, and innovation happening inside the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre.

FDC3 started life with a deceptively simple goal: allow applications to work together.

What began as a way to share context between desktop applications has evolved into something much broader: an open standard that allows applications, services and workflows to collaborate regardless of platform, vendor or deployment model.

In today's digital landscape, collaboration and innovation go hand in hand. The power of open source projects lies in the collective efforts of multiple companies working towards a common goal. 

Scott Logic has had the privilege of participating in the open source FDC3 (Financial Desktop Connectivity and Collaboration Consortium) project. Our team of consultants worked alongside prominent organizations like FINOS, Tick42, Finsemble, OpenFin, Connectifi,and products such as FDC3 Sail.  

In this post, I would like to share the technology behind our team’s work in writing unit tests for FDC3 versions 1.2 and 2.0.
