Visual Studio 2008 Team Test Load Agent
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team Test Load Agent generates supplemental test load for use with Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Software Testers that enables organizations to simulate more users and more accurately test the performance of Web applications and servers.
Visual Studio Team Test Load Agent, which includes both agent and controller software, is highly extensible and customizable, giving testers an enormous amount of flexibility, including:
- Simulation of approximately 1,000 users per processor.
- More accurate simulation and performance testing of Web applications and servers.
- License that grants unlimited virtual user simulation per process (dual-core processors included).
- Tight integration with Team Foundation Server, enabling test data to be incorporated into several analytic reports.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team Test Load Agent provides the infrastructure for distributed load testing for scale-out generation of massive loads, as well as distributed functional and unit test execution. Team Test Load Agent complements Visual Studio 2008 Team Edition for Software Testers, which enables teams to verify the performance and quality of applications before deployment.
Product Highlights
Generate massive loads for load tests.
- Scale-out load generation
- Efficient load simulation and hosting (a typical PC running a Web test can simulate 1,000 users)
- Extensible architecture supports third-party tests
- IP switching
- Performance counters on load agents and machines under test
- Rolls up data (stats and logs) to a central SQL Server database for analysis
- Load test monitoring
Run distributed unit and functional tests in parallel.
- Agent selection enables control over which agents a test run will run on. This enables scenarios such as running the same set of tests on different versions of Windows for matrix testing.
- Collect code coverage data to measure test effectiveness
Share test lab hardware with a team.
- Multiple clients can submit test runs
- Controller queues test runs and manages agents
- Per-CPU licensing (no vUser licensing)
