Announcing 100 core support for VSO Cloud-based Load testing and more!
Cloud-based Load Testing with Visual Studio Online now supports up to 100 cores for a single load test run. Until now in Cloud-based Load Testing, you could use up to 20 cores (10 agents) in a single load test run. With the support for 100 cores, you should be able to generate 5 times the concurrent users than before. For example, , in a typical single load run using declarative web test, you will be now be able to generate 25,000 concurrent users, where you could generate just 5,000 until now (Of course, if your tests are light you could go well beyond this number). And you can run more than one run in paralle...

It is often observed that application is deployed in the internal environment behind the firewall before it is deployed to production or you have an application that is deployed internally and accessible on your organization's network only. Load testing such Internal Apps requires the load test agents in the Cloud-based Load Testing Service to reach them in a secure way. We have come up with one approach to cater this need, please go through the following blog to know more about it. T...
Editing the IntelliTrace collection plan
As you probably already know, Visual Studio offers an enhanced debugging experience through the use of IntelliTrace. Your application’s execution is recorded by IntelliTrace and you can navigate through time, both backwards and forwards, and examine your code as you normally would during a debugging session by interacting with the Call Stack and Locals windows. The collection plan is the compilation of all settings that tell IntelliTrace what data to collect while the application is running: When you are using IntelliTrace within Visual Studio, you change these settings through Tools > Options > IntelliTr...
Creating unit test method stubs with “Create Unit Tests”
In Visual Studio 2015 CTP 6 we are introducing the "Create Unit Tests" feature that provides the ability to create unit test method stubs. The feature allows easy configuration of a test project, and the test class and the test method stub therein. It is conveniently available as a context menu item, and can be invoked on product code at the scope of a method, a type, or a namespace. It launches a fairly self-explanatory dialog that surfaces the options that can be configured (does the look and feel seem familiar to you?). Support is presently for C# and the MSTest framework but enhancements are in the pipeline. ...
