Don’t leave load testing until last!

This demonstration will cover:

• Creating a basic cloud load test• Import Archive• Custom load test in Visual Studio

DEMO: URL Cloud Load Test

That must cost a LOT!

• 20k: FREE• 2m: $8000 (64k NOK)• 2m-10m: $16000 (130k NOK)

So for 2 minutes of 200 simultaneous users per build for 10 deployments per day at 4000 VMU’s, it would be FREE

Before it costs any money you can load test 50 deployments at 200 simultaneous users for 2 minutes.

Or you could ramp up to 1000 simultaneous users.

That must be expensive?Examples Cloud-based Load Testing*

* Requires Visual Studio Enterprise- Services purchased via Microsoft Azure based on actual usage- Additional services are accessible to all users on the account and shared

among them- Build time is actual computing time required to run the build, and

does not include queuing time (if any)- Load test runs specify the number of virtual users and duration in

minutesVirtual users x minutes = virtual user minutes (VUM)

FREE: 20,000 virtual user minutes per monthTHEREAFTER:$0.004/virtual user minute for 20,001-2M VUM$0.002/VUM for 2,000,001-10M VUM$0.001/VUM for usage above 10M VUM/month
