WCF Load Test

News

New evaluation release (June 2013): WCF Load Test Version Version 4.0-ALPHA Build 4.0.13.0611

This release has had very limited testing and so must be considered Alpha quality. Please provide your feedback on the quality of this release so its status can be amended if its quality is good.

This is a maintenance release that makes the following changes:

Adds support for .NET 4.0 assemblies.
Adds support for Visual Studio 2012.
Removed support for Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008.
Fixes a bug if the Name property of the ServiceContract attribute is used.
Disposes DataSets in the generated code.
Adds some Code Analysis suppressions to the generated code.
Source code updated to be a Visual Studio 2012 project.
Candid feedback welcome!

WCF Load Test Version 3.0 for Visual Studio 2010

This update contains a number of improvements to the WCF Load Test tool. . The release still maintains the beta tag because it has not been widely tested prior to release. It includes the following improvements:

Provides support for DataSets
Delivers support for duplex contracts
Can handle ASMX services, even without a WCF client, which comes from the capability to process Fiddler2 traces
Automatically filters out NullMessage messages which can appear in service-side message logs
Verifies that the right kind of message log has been provided
nitializes out parameters in the stub methods so that generated code will always compile without modification
No longer locks the assemblies after the wizard has been used
Provides improved error reporting
At the time of the last release it was said that it would be the last release to support Visual Studio 2008. However, there has not been a need to do this, so this release is still supported in Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2010, it will probably also still work with Visual Studio 2005, but this has not been tested.

See more details in included Usage Notes document.

Project Description

This tool takes a WCF trace file and a WCF client proxy, or a WCF interface contract, and generates a C# unit test that replays the same sequence of calls found in the trace file. The unit test can then be used to load-test the target

• Support for message contracts.


• ASMX support (beta)


• Support for proxies generated using svcutil.


• Support for clients that create proxies at run time from contract interfaces.


• Supports calls to multiple services in a single scenario.


• Supports multiple calls to the same service operation.


• Filtering by SOAP action of which messages in the trace to replay.


• Readable and modifiable code is generated.


• Automatic association of trace message with proxy method (requires all operations to have a unique SOAP action).


• Support for client and server side traces.


• A command line tool for processing traces and generating code.


• Visual Studio 2005/2008 integration (Team Developer, Team Test, Team Suite and for 2008 also Professional)) that can be used instead of the command line tool.
