I've been searching different Load Testing Tools for .NET applications. And came accross these tools;
HP Loadrunner
Silk Performer
IBM RPT
Visual Studio Load Test
Visual Studio Load Test meets all the requirements, as development tool used for .NET application is also Visual Studio.
I want user review for Visual Studio Load Test with examples/case studies or white papers.

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
Management is looking into automated testing. Our QA Lead would like to know what if any automated test tools are shipped with Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise and Team Foundation Server 2012.
From what I am reading, MS offers a Suite of Tools as a separate Product called Test Studio. From what I can gather, there is nothing in Visual Studio itself or TFS itself to perform automated tests. Is this correct?
Won't they need Test Studio for this? Or HP if they want to look at other vendors...
Manage your team’s code, build and test your apps, and plan and track your team’s work these can be achieved with Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server on your own server.
However, for test in TFS. TFS itself won't shipped with Test Automation tools. TFS use Microsoft Test Manager, a separate Team Foundation client, lets you manage and execute test cases and create and manage physical or virtual environments. It installs with select Visual Studio editions.

What kind of tests can be applied a program in Visual Studio 2013-TFS? I am new in testing field and my company uses TFS 2013. Can anyone suggest me some document or already applied tests document in TFS.
Thanks for supports in advanced
You can start with MSDN: Testing the application
You could read the e-book from the Microsoft patterns & practices team, Testing for Continuous Delivery with Visual Studio 2012 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj159345).
It gives a good introduction and understanding of how you can use visual studio and related tools to test software.
Even though it is written for 2012, almost everything still applies for TFS 2013.
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:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/103580364/temp/pordiva000005.jpg
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.
In addition to #AdrianHHH answer:
Running Visual Studio 2015 you will find it in the renamed Enterprise Edition.
VS2015 reduces to three versions:
Visual Studio Community Free, fully-featured IDE for students,
open-source and individual developers
Visual Studio Professional Professional developer tools, services,
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
Basic info at Visual Studio 2015 pricing
In detail at Visual Studio 2015 Licensing White Paper
I want to create virtual traffic on my site for testing scalability using Load Testing which is provided by Visual studio 2010 Ultimate.
Is there any tutorial for Load Testing in visual studio 2010? I Googled for it but did not get any good articles or tutorials.
Could you provide me with any useful links or articles that I can use to perform Load Testing quickly and easily?
Thanks in Advance.
