Article Posted: Advanced Load Testing Features of VSTS

I've posted an article that discusses some of the advanced features of VSTS Load Testing.   The article goes into more detail on these features than can be found in the existing online documentation, and describes some things that may not be at all obvious from the user interface.    Please read, enjoy, ask questions, and comment.   The article can be found here: https://blogs.msdn.com/billbar/articles/517081.aspx.

    Sorry for the delayed response - I was OOF on jury duty for 7 days.

    Anyway, if you haven't already seen Josh Christie's article on Web Test Authoring and Debugging Techniques, check it out at:

    Also check out his blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/joshch

    Unfortunately, we don't have a great solution for the problem you describe, though we realize it is a problem.    One option is to set the value for the request property "Parse Dependent Requests" to false for the web test request that contains these dependent requests.    With this setting none of the dependent requests on that page will be automatically fetched; you can then explicitly add back the dependent requests that you do want in the web test editor.

    You are correct that web tests deal with HTTP traffic and don't simulate pop-up windows and other browser interactions and javascript operations.    I suggest you take a look at Josh Christie's article on Web Test Authoring and Debugging techniques which goes into detail about what you can and can't do with web tests, and some ideas for accomplishing what you want to do.   You can find this at:
