After you have created a Web performance test using the Web performance test wizard, you can edit it using the Web Performance Test Editor. You can add validation rules, database connections, loop and branching logic and other properties.
In the Web Performance Test Editor, you see a hierarchy tree of HTTP requests. This is known as the request tree. You can select nodes in the request tree to view and change the properties that are associated with requests. You can also expand a request to display the nodes and parameters of the request. Additionally, you can change the parameters and properties. Typically, changes are made by using the Properties window of Visual Studio Ultimate.
You can also add parameters, rules, and dependent requests to a request.
