WCF load testing with VS2010 Utimate Test manager

Question

Greetings,

Could anyone please confirm whether it's possible to web test and load test WCF Web Services using Visual Studio 2010 ultimate now?

Been through the forum and found a thread on 08/07/2011 saying 'can test WCF in Test Manager the same way as you test other projects. Manual tests are fully supported, and part of the automatic tests are also supported. For example, unit test is supported, but web test and load test are not supported.'

I am wondering whether still not possible to do web test and load test to a WCF service?

Hi porsonw,

Thank you for your post.

As far as i know, install an update http://wcfloadtest.codeplex.com/ and create load test in vs, you may can run WCF test via MTM. You can refer to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd286580(v=vs.100). Please note, as the article mentioned It is not a good idea to run load tests by using Microsoft Test Manager because you cannot view the test as it runs. It is useful to be able to do this for load tests.

For web test, MTM 2010 not mentioned support to run web test.

Regards,
