Creating and Editing Load Tests
You can create a test project and add load tests to your test project. Load tests can contain both unit tests and Web performance tests. The main purpose of a load test is to simulate many users accessing a server at the same time. A load test gives you access to application stress and performance data. A load test can be configured to emulate various load conditions such as user loads and network types. A new load test is created by using the New Load Test Wizard, in which you specify the initial settings for your load test. Initial settings including a scenario, counter sets, and a run setting.
