One thing we typically aren’t great about is going back and “freshening” up old blog posts…Unfortunately in many cases these posts become “THE” reference source for some topics. Luckily in the case of load testing with Microsoft tools one of our ALM partners in the UK Testhouse offered to freshen up the rapidly dated post –and keep it that way. We owe the debt of gratitude in this case to Ian Holdsworth (Thank Ian!)

Content specific to VS 2005 Web and Load Tests
Many of the issues we wrote about for VS 2005 were addressed in VS 2008. I’ve decided to pull those articles that are no longer applicable to 2008 into a separate table below. Note that some links above were written to 2005, but partially or in whole still apply to 2008 so I’ve left them in the table above. Links below really no longer pertain to 2005. So if you are using 2005, you should also go through the content in both tables.
