WCF Load Test with Visual Studio or any other free tools

We have a WCF web service and I would like to perform a load test. Could anyone please confirm if this is possible via Visual Studio 2010 or any other free tools?

Thank you

You can with VS as long as you own the ultimate edition.

A free tool is available from CodePlex to load test WCF. To quote the project description:

This tool takes a WCF trace file and a WCF client proxy, or a WCF interface contract, and generates a C# unit test that replays the same sequence of calls found in the trace file. The unit test can then be used to load-test the target

I have done a decent amount of this over the last five years using mstest and jetbrains dottrace.

What you need to do is write an integration test (a unit test that makes a call to your service) and then reference that in a load test. I then get dottrace to profile IIS and then rune the load test.
