Run Load Tests during build within Visual Studio Online

I've created a Web Performance and Load Test Project which, for the moment, performs a couple of simple tests on our Dynamics CRM 2013 solution using Visual Studio Online. (Tests will be expanded at a later time)

(The Load Test solution itself resides in a on-premises TFS along with all our other projects)

When I run my Load Tests on my local machine it all works like a charm.

My goal now is to run these Load Tests during the build of the solution.

It seems I have to use MSTest as Visual Studio Test Runner doesn't support Load Tests.

So I have modified my Build Template to use MSTest, with a little help of this post: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/93c8634f-b6d6-4d8a-8c8c-b6eb6c1fad06/tfs-2013-and-webtests-and-load-tests?forum=tfsbuild

This is were I run into a problems. As I don't see an option where I can direct my Load Test to use a specific VSO account, let alone the credentials for this account.

My questions are:

You should not be running load tests, or any sort of tests that require an instance of your application, on a build server.

You should have an environment that you deploy your bits to and then run there. Microsoft have a tool specifically for this purpos called Release Manager.

Release Manager Online is available with your account and you can easily call out to the load test or other capabilities...
