Initiate a Load Test from Hosted Build work-around
Mar 4, 2015Willy-P. Schaub
Summary
This post details a workaround for initiating load tests from hosted builds in Visual Studio Online (VSO) using a post-build script and the Cloud Load Testing REST API. It outlines prerequisites (VSO account, alternate credentials, Visual Studio Ultimate 2013), provides a 10-step process involving packaging a REST API sample and a launch script, configuring build definitions, and monitoring the load test execution. The workaround addresses limitations of directly triggering load tests from hosted agents.
