Cloud-based Load Testing with Visual Studio Online<\/a>\u00a0helps to identify the application performance issues under a certain user load. You can configure the load test with Application Insights<\/a> counters in addition to the load test counters. This will enable you to compare and contrast both load test counters and server counters and figure out the performance issues more intuitively.<\/p>\n

This blog will tell how to enable the collection of Application Insights counters along with the Load Test counters while doing load test run using Cloud-based Load Testing with Visual Studio Online.<\/p>\n
