Testing Performance or load in WPF application using VS2013

I have a WPF application using standard MVVM pattern. I want to test its performance and load . I see in Visual studio 2013 there is an option to check for Web Performance and Load test . I tried the Load test part of it, but Load test accepts only a test type i.e Unit Test or Coded UI test.

My question is : Cant i directly test the Load of my application without any test cases. Or what is the correct process to test my WPF application.

Never run load test on WPF or any kind of UI application. Load testing is generally done on the tier supporting the load : asp.net, Web Api, WCF ...and sometimes DB.

On UI-tier, it's better to do performance test, I mean simulating a huge amount of data coming from data-tier or with a high rate of transactions/sec. Visual Studio Profiler & Profiling tools will help you to determine the Hot Path and to find application bottlenecks.
