VS2012 - Web Performance Test - Virtual Users Limit

VS2012 - Web Performance Test - Virtual Users Limit.

I was surprised to see there is no virtual users restrictions (Number of users) for conducting load test using Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate. Generally any commercial load test tool fix the tool cost based on the number of virtual users, technologies (AJAX, Flex, Silver-light..) and monitoring agents, now the trend got changed, need to see how other commercial load test tools like HP loadrunner, Neoload change the licence structure.

Visual Studio 2012 - Versions for GUI and Performance Testing

Recently I started working with CodedUI and Performance testing using Visual Studio. I have VS2012 Professional and didn't find any option to select CodedUI project, so started investigating which all versions of VS2012 support GUI testing and performance testing. Below screen shot helped me to understand the supported versions of VS2012.

Approx cost of VS2012.
