WCF Load Test
How do you load test you WCF service?
Basically, in order to load test any API capable functionality in Visual Studio Team System, you will need to use a Unit Test template.
This is a bit confusing. A Unit Test is by definition: "Testing a Unit".
In fact there are many other strategies for functional testing, and most “unit tests” written today are not true Unit tests (with a capital U) that isolate and only test a single class, but test from the API down.
When we use a unit test to load test the WCF service, we kind of getting out of scope. A Unit Test that tests a WCF service, or a client API that hits a server, are really functional tests.
Never the less, we need to create a Unit Test in order to Load Test out service and add the service reference. For more info on how to Load Test services see this link.
