Visual Studio Test Agent without TFS? (2010)

Question

Is it possible to use the Visual Studio Test Agent and Test Controller without invloving TFS?

I'd like to run load tests on a web based system I'm developing, but my Test machines doesn't belong to the customer domain (where the TFS resides).

Answer 1

I think it is possible.

• When you install the Test Controller configure it for Load Testing.
• Add a rule to firewall of the machine that the Test Controller is installed for port 6901 (default for Test Controller).
• Install your Test Agents and assign them to your Test Controller.
• From your Visual Studio add new Test Settings and in the Roles tab choose Remote Execution and give the URL for the Controller.
