Hi;
Can anyone told me how effective is"Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition
for Software Testers" tools for software tester? And how effectively
load testing for web browser carried out by this?

VSTS is a capable tool. Our team is full on the Microsoft tools, and
I'm using it currently to drive regression test of our web
application, but I'm using the Unit Test, instead of the Web Test, for
doing so.

The major reason I decide to stick to unit test, it's because the web
test must be self contain scenario from A to Z. For example you cannot
create a scenario, for example, to login your web page and reuse it
for all the scenarios that may need to use it. I my case I create a
layer to access function of our web application using an Internet
Explorer driver (WatiN to giving him some publicity). My unit test are
then calling function of the web access layer to manipulate the web
application and validate expected result.

For the load testing, VSTS seem more interesting. I haven try it very
much, our current implementation of our web application does give me
much ability to make load testing. Basically, load testing use one
test that you produce, and run it in specified condition. For example
you're able to run your test simultaneously 10 time during 1 minute.
Seem to have a lot of probe you can plug to retrieve a lot of
information, and it's have a good reporting capability. But load
testing seem to work best with Web testm even if it's work with other
VSTS Test.

With the limitation of the Web Test design, if your load testing is
simple and it's not involving a lot of test case that will need to be
re-record for each build, VSTS can be an interesting solution,
especially if it's already a tool you have in your work environment.

I prefer to using badboy to do that.

The WebTest in Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition
for Software Testers is very limited in functionality. It is just HTTP
recorder. For complex DHTML/AJAX Web applications you use
SWExplorerAutomation (SWEA) from Webius (http://webiussoft.com). SWEA
record, replays and generates C# or VB.NET test script code.

The limitations of HTTP/S recording are well known:

http://www.e-Valid.com/Technology/why.browser.html

For most new web browser enabled applications you need to
maintain browser state, and eValid does this well.

In addition, eValid offers: adaptive playback [to protect
your investment in test scripts]; full DOM-based validation
and synchronization [to support AJAX applications]; and,
complete detailed timing and multiple-browser server
loading data collection [to help tune your application].

You can download your evaluation copy of eValid V7 from:

Full details about the eValid web analysis and testing suite
can be found at:
