Many of us have been there before... You deploy your brand new web site to production, you know, the one that's going to make your company rich and you famous, and just as you're about to hit a thousand users, the site comes crashing down! If you haven't experienced this, chances are you know someone who has.
If you're building web apps and services for your organization you know how important it is to ensure those services are always up and running. While many of us go through great lengths to ensure we are testing the functionality of our systems we do not always take performance or system load into account.
Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) provides multiple options and avenues for enabling performance and load testing for your systems. For example, did you know that VSTS also supports JMeter tests? With VSTS you can even run performance tests using on-premises servers in your own data center. This talk will give you an overview of the performance and load testing capabilities of VSTS. If you haven't looked at the load testing features of VSTS lately, you should definitely check out this talk!
