Load & stress testing tool
Microsoft Visual Studio Team System (VSTS) includes a set of software testing tools. These test tools are integrated tightly with Visual Studio Foundation Server and work within this larger framework of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) tools.
Visual Studio includes a testing tool specifically for load testing. This allows testers to simulate how the system under test will behave when many users are interacting with it. As well as load testing it can be used for stress testing, performance testing and capacity testing web applications.
The load testing tool can also be used to test non Web based server components, such as testing data access model components.

On many programmes and large projects, testing will take up a significant portion of the budget. But it will receive less management attention than an activity of this size warrants.
