A visual studio LoadTest allows you to execute any test set up using the Visual Studio Unit Testing framework, which means you can create any test using any .net programming language and make it as complex or simple as necessary. | |

Unfortunately it is the management norm with performance tools these days, without respect to vendor. Your management's behavior pretty much guarantees a low or negative ROI for LoadRunner use. | |

| Oct 28, 2011 at 17:54 | comment | added | Ethel Evans | Thanks, this is really helpful. I took Steve's advice and tried out VS 2010 Load Test last night, using a Microsoft Virtual Lab. It looks pretty good, but I was wondering . . . do I have to run Web Tests? Or can any test / script be used as the basis of a load test? We do have an MSDN license, so that's good. Also, would it work with AWS? Our company has . . . issues . . . with getting a hold of hardware, or setting up VMs, so I need to work around those limitations. | |
