title: Stress Testing in Visual Studio
body: <p>Visual Studio 2008 has a test type called a Load Test.  It looks like I can just drop a collection of other tests into it, give it a test profile (say, 50 users constantly hitting the program), a running time, and let it run.  </p>
  
  <p>What isn't clear to me, is how to actually setup the tests it consumes.  I need to launch a instance of the program to be tested (technically, a HTTP server; but not a web project or anything - just a console app) with some command line parameters, and have it remain up while the actual tests are running.  </p>
  
  <p>Basically, how would I setup a Load Test (or any test) in Visual Studio 2008 that would allow me to startup a project, then run a number of tests against it - in a configuration of my choosing as in Load Test.</p>
