Is "cannot reach queue event listener" a significant issue for Test Controller during load tests?

Question

Hello, I'm seeing thousands of these errors on my Test Controller (VS2010), should I be concerned about the validity of my load test results?

(QTController.exe, PID 1980, Thread 19) ControllerSpooledJob.AddMessage: Failed calling event listener Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.Execution.RemoteObjectContainer`1[Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.Controller.IControllerEvents]: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (0x80004005): A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 10.200.2.106:1504

Answer 1

Hi,

Are you using IP switching by any chance so that the IP's on the agents might be rejected by your server.

Thanks,

Hello TestUser1253,

Thanks for your post.

Do you have your Visual Studio, Test Controller and Test Agents installed on the dual-NIC machines? If so, you should add entries to the config files to bind the remoting calls to the right NICs. Please refer to this thread which discusses the same error you encountered:

I hope it can help you.

Thanks.
