I use Visual Studio . I use Xamarin Cloud. I installed Test Recoder for VS.I do not see in the editor icon Test Recoder. How do I run Test Recoder for VS?
Xamarin Test Recorder - Microsoft will discontinue development of Xamarin Test Recorder on macOS and the Visual Studio extension for Windows on March 31st, 2018. Upload to Test Cloud functionality from Xamarin Test Recorder will not be supported after this date. Moving forward, tests must be submitted through the Visual Studio App Center CLI.

I assume that you use the Community or Professional-Edition of Visual Studio. To use the Test Recorder you need the Enterprise-Edition of Visual Studio.
The download-page of the Test Recorder makes it clear:
You will need a Visual Studio Enterprise subscription to use Test Recorder.

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 have a trial version Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise addition. I am using Windows 10 professional.
I successfully installed Xamarin Test Recorder (Xamarin.TestRecorder.VSIX.2015.vsix).
However, I cannot see Xamarin Test Recorder in trial version Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise addition.
I need to start running Test Recording for my Xamarin UI Test project.
Would it be correct to say that rial version Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise addition is enough to allow successfully install Xamarin Test Recorder but it is not enough for using Xamarin Test recorder - a subscription for Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise addition is required?

Xamarin Test Recorder is not part of any Visual Studio version. It requires an extra download at:
Test Recorder Preview
Test Recorder at VS MarketPlace
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
Reference below threads:
Getting error: File extension specified '.webtest' is not a valid test extension
Can I use mstest.exe without installing Visual Studio?
There is no Coded UI project in Visual Studio 2015 for UWP and I can't find any documentation anywhere saying there is a plan to bring support.
Does anyone know if there is planned support it or have some alternative UI testing framework to work with Windows Universal?
I guess you can use this Coded UI Test Project (Universal Windows) which is under
File->New->Project->Templates->Windows->Universal-->Coded UI Test Project (Universal Windows)
for Coded UI project in Visual Studio 2015 for UWP.
Maybe an important information for other to come is. That it’s not possible to create such projects in the community version of visual studio. You need at least the enterprise version as mentioned here.
An update for anyone arriving at this question is that Microsoft are deprecating support for Coded UI testing after the Visual Studio 2019 release...
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/test/use-ui-automation-to-test-your-code?view=vs-2017
Coded UI Test for automated UI-driven functional testing is deprecated. Visual Studio 2019 is the last version where Coded UI Test will be available. We recommend using Selenium for testing web apps and Appium with WinAppDriver for testing desktop and UWP apps.
So, the suggested answer by Microsoft for automating UWP UI testing is to adopt Appium with WinAppDriver.
I want to setup the NUnit Test Runner for WP7 with Visual Studio 2010 for unit testing WP7 apps.
I reffered to http://nunitwindowsphone7.codeplex.com/documentation but there is no NUnitTestRunner.dll that has to be referenced in the NUnitTestRunner that i have downloaded from http://nunitwindowsphone7.codeplex.com/
Please give any views on this asap.
I think you've simply forgotten to install the Windows Phone Developer Tools.
When you do it, your NUnitTestRunnerWP7.dll will compile and the tests will work just fine right from Visual Studio.
