This session will discuss how load and performance testing fits within an agile project and how to use Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate to determine whether your application will withstand the load of a production environment.
Topics Covered:
* Performance testing in an agile environment
* Formulating a performance testing plan
* Implementing load tests in Visual Studio 2010
* Evaluating load test results and behaviors
