Run a set of Visual Studio load tests at once using Command Line

Normally, if you have only one load test environment and have a bunch of load tests that need to run, you need to wait for each test finished then start to run the next test manually.

In order to run them all at one time, we can use Visual Studio Command Prompt to run load tests. But we need to prepare .loadtest files for each load test run separately. It means that if you want to run 15 load tests, you need 15 of .loadtest files.

A command to execute load test has shown as follows:

mstest /TestContainer:[Load Test Name].loadtest /resultsfile:[Load Test Result Location].trx

Then, to run a next load test after another finished, create a command prompt script to run them automatically.

For example - create a loadtest.cmd then add the following lines into the script:

mstest /TestContainer:TestA.loadtest /resultsfile:C:\TestA.trx
mstest /TestContainer:TestB.loadtest /resultsfile:C:\TestB.trx

In case run a distributed load test using test controller and agents from the command-line, it need to add "/testsettings:[Test Setting Name].Testsettings" after specify result file in a command.

For more information about load test, you can take a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182588(v=vs.110).aspx.
