Came across this blog => https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/cloud-based-load-testing-service-eol/ saying that - When Visual Studio 2019 Preview 1 shipped in early December, Microsoft announced the plans to deprecate the load test functionality in Visual Studio. Visual Studio 2019 will be the last version of Visual Studio with web performance and load test features.". Have below questions about this:-
Does this mean the existing load tests written using the perf testing agents will not work any in Visual Studio?
Or does that mean engineers will not be able to use load testing features in Visual Studio 2019 onwards?
If you have a big amount of tests I would recommend staying on your current version of Visual Studio as 2019 will not have load testing features.
For new machines / load generators you should be able to install older versions of Visual Studio
For new tests development Microsoft Recommends JMeter and BlazeMeter as Preferred Load Testing Tools

I'm using VS2017 - is there any way to get webtests working without installing VS2017 Enterprise? All I need is mstest.exe - not the GUI or IDE.
No, for unit test you can install Agents For Visual Studio 2017.
But for Web Load & Performance Testing, it is only supported in Visual Studio Enterprise 2017, So you need to install Visual Studio Enterprise 2017 with Web Performance and Load testing tools.
More information about VS 2017 supported features, you can refer to: Compare Visual Studio 2017 IDEs

Can I use mstest.exe without installing Visual Studio?
I heard there have some built in option for testing(Nunit etc..) in visual studio.let me know the best method for testing MVC4 web application using with this methods.and i am using VS2013 profession edition.
There is MSTest which is available in visual studio.
Get started with developer testing tools
I have created Coded UI scripts in VS2010 Premium version. Now i want to install VS 2010 Ultimate version for Performance Testing.
Will my scripts those were created in 2010 Premium version run in 2010 ultimate version without any further changes?
Yes Vivek. It will definitely run without any changes. Post over here if you are facing any issue while doing the same.
There won't be any issue within different editions of VS but you may need to copy some DLLs if you are trying with different versions like 2012 VS scripts in 2013 VS. you may use relevant Test Agents if you are running outside VS.
We are currently using VS 2010 professional edition and I am keen to move to 2013. I am concerned that if my company gets professional again we may not get features that we need.
In particular, I want to:
Use the Bundling and Minification tools available in .Net 4.5 for JavaScript and CSS
Access the test explorer using the Chutzpah test adapter (to test javascript)
I've looked at the comparison between different VS 2013 but it's not clear (to me!) whether or not these options will be available. Will these be available in Visual Studio 2013 Professional?
Obviously there are many benefits to 2013 but the above two are the features that may persuade my company to purchase a different (more expensive) edition if required.
Thanks.

I want to do load testing inside Visual Studio Professional 2012. According to the tutorial here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/ms182551.aspx, under File > Add > New Project > Installed Templates > Visual C# > Test there should be a project template called Web Performance and Load Test Project.
But there is none in my tool. VS only presents Unit Test as here:

I searched inside online templates the keyword "performance" but there was no such a template again:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/103580364/temp/pordiva000006.jpg
How can I find and install that project template called Web Performance and Load Test Project?
I believe you cannot do that. Web performance and load tests are only available within Visual Studio Ultimate edition. See http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/products/compare
In summary, there are five version of Visual Studio
Express, the free version. Limited in functionality. Does not support extensions.
Professional, has most of the development tools.
Premium, adds Coded UI testing
Ultimate, adds web performance and load testing.
Test professional, has some test tools but no development tools.

and subscription benefits for small teams
Visual Studio Enterprise End-to-end solution to meet demanding
