7. Cloud Load Testing: Easier Load Testing
• Quickly define and
configure simple load
tests
• Use the elastic scale
of VSO to simulate
hundreds or
thousands of virtual
users
• Measure the
underlying system
using Application
Insights

8. Cloud Load Testing: Easier Load Testing

9. Cloud Load Testing: Using Azure
• Using Visual Studio 2013 or
2015
• Create Web Performance and
Load Test Project
• Create Web Performance Test
• Create Load Test
• Change Test Settings to use
VSO

10. What do you load test?
• Websites
• Web Services
• Databases
NOT the User Interface

13. Application Insights

14. 1. Telemetry is collected at each
tier: Mobile applications, server
applications and browser
2. Telemetry arrives to
Application Insights service
where it is processed & stored
3. Get 360° view of the
application covering availability,
performance & usage
Application
Insights
