I recently got a copy of Microsoft Test Professional 2013, where previously I used Visual Studio 2012. I'm unable to run any projects within Visual Studio 2013 - Shell Integrated, which comes with Test Professional 2013.
The development team have upgraded to Visual Studio 2013 with no issues and we have tried changing the project versions.
I have checked that I have the correct .net framework and mvc installed.
Should I be able to open the projects and if so what might be going wrong?
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:

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.

Running Visual Studio 2015 you will find it in the renamed Enterprise Edition.
VS2015 reduces to three versions:

open-source and individual developers

and subscription benefits for small teams
Visual Studio Enterprise End-to-end solution to meet demanding
quality and scale needs of teams of all sizes

I have Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition.
In that edition i have access to Microsoft.Reporting and additional i have some report design tools integrated with VS IDE.

I need this for Windows Forms applications, not for Web.
It comes with Sql Server Reporting Services
I created a SilverLight solution in Visual Web Developer Express 2010. Now, my system got installed with Visual Studio 2010 Professional. On opening the existing express solution, I got the below error:
Unable to open project. An update to Microsoft Visual Studio is required to support the targeted version of SilverLight. Download the update at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkId=168436
It takes to install the add-on Microsoft Silverlight 4 Tools for Visual Studio 2010. My question is 'Why itz not part and parcel of professional edition?'
If I recall correctly, the silverlight tools for VS2010 were released very shortly after VS2010 went RTM. Silverlight is a separate technology that isn't dependent on Visual Studio. It's developed by a different group and they have separate release schedules.
I'm leaning toward using MSTest as unit testing framework for a new project but I'm concerned with cutting off developers (maybe even myself in the future and/or in some specific environment) using Express editions of Visual Studio.
I know MSTest wasn't available in VS2008 Express but with Microsoft pushing unit testing in recent years I guess they could've added it to VS2010 Express. However I couldn't find any info on this in the list of Express features and I don't want to download and install express just to verify this.
So, is MSTest supported in Visual Studio 2010 Express?
It does not appear in Microsoft's list of features of Visual Studio Express 2010, and it would appear (according to this blog post) that it is not supported. Since express editions do not allow add-ins, you cannot even use something like TestDriven.net to run tests from within Visual Studio Express editions.
If you were to use NUnit for testing, you may get more mileage. That blog post shows a way of running/debugging NUnit tests using a bootstrapper, but an easier way is to set NUnit as the start action (in Project Properties -> Start External Program), and then passing the name of your dll as an argument. This will start and run NUnit when you run/debug your project, allowing you launch your tests from within Visual Studio, and also debug them if needed.
