Visual Studio Team System (VSTS) - Loadtesting Tutorial Links

 Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team System Web Testing - Video

Visual Studio Team System includes a newly designed load test tool. Formerly code-named "Ocracoke," this new tool provides many exciting features you can use for performance and stress testing your Web sites, Web services, and other server components. And, combined with its handy reporting capabilities, the load test tool provides some powerful options for sharing and managing test results.

The load test tool executes performance test runs and can be configured to log data into a central SQL database. After each test run, you can view collected test data, such as performance counter values, test error messages, and the test execution load, and then analyze the test data from within the Visual Studio®

Visual Studio Team System 2008 Test Load Agent - Artical

Artical:
Visual Studio Team System 2008 Test Load Agent : 

Visual Studio Team System 2008 Test Load Agent It enables testers to generate test loads for Web applications and organizations to improve quality of service.

Visual Studio includes a new load agent product for achieving scalable load generation. The Team Test Load Agent enables you to configure an arbitrary number of agents that will work together to generate load against a web server or web farm.

It enables testers to generate test loads for Web applications and organizations to improve quality of service Visual Studio Team System 2008 Test Load Agent, which includes both agent and controller software, is highly extensible and customizable, giving testers an enormous amount of flexibility. It enables testers to generate test loads for Web applications and organizations to improve quality of service by more accurately testing the performance of Web applications and servers under load.

Key features include:

Scale out load generation
• Efficient load generation (1000 users from a typical machine running a typical web test)
• IP Switching for testing web farms. Each agent can be configured to use a range of IP addresses. That way load is distributed appropriately when load testing a web farm.
• Favorable Per CPU licensing (no vUser licensing)
• Performance counters collected on Load Agents and machines under test.
• Data (performance data, perfmon counters, and logs) are rolled up and stored in central SQL Server for analysis
• Load Test Monitor enables monitoring a test in progress
• Run tests from VS or Command Line• Deployment of test code, reverse deployment of logs/test results
• Parallel distributed functional test execution
• Run a large set of unit and functional tests at the same time
• Agent selection enables matrix testing
• Code Coverage
• Better quality of service: load tests are restarted if the test process exits due to a failure.
• Share test lab hardware with a team• Multiple clients can submit test runs
• Controller queues runs and manages agents
• Platform for test tools
• Extensible architecture supports third party test types
• Team Foundation Server integration
• Reporting
• Work Item tracking• Build Server
• Source Code Control
