QuickFIX has a simple web server built-in where you can check for session 
status. You can access a page with any web browser or automate it with some 
Python script, curl tool or such.

That way one man with QuickFIX and Python in his hands can get certified by 
major exchange in one day.

Another way is to use some simple order entry tool like Banzai that comes with 
QuickFIX/J.

In any case, certification cannot be fully automated. At least because other 
sides usually require some user feedback (call them, press some buttons on 
their web site etc).
