Visual Studio 2005 Team Test Load Agent provides supplemental test load for use with Visual Studio Team Edition for Software Testers that enables organizations to simulate more users and more accurately test the performance of the Web applications and servers. Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Test Load Agent generates supplemental test load for use with Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Software Testers that enables organizations to simulate more users and more accurately test the performance of Web applications and servers. Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Test Load Agent, a supplemental test load for use with Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Software Testers, enables organizations to simulate more users and more accurately test the performance of Web applications and servers.Team Test Load Agent, which includes both agent and controller software, is highly extensible and customizable, giving testers an enormous amount of flexibility at a fraction of the cost of most competitive performance testing environments. FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS: More accurate simulation and performance testing of Web applications and servers. License that grants unlimited virtual user simulation per process (dual core processors included). Simulation of approximately 1,000 users per processor. Tight integration with Team Foundation Server, enabling test data to be incorporated into several analytic reports. Team Test Load Agents were designed to run both functional tests and distributed load tests. It is easy to set up a consisting of a controller and set of test agents. The agents can then be used both for distributed load testing and for distributed functional testing. The key features that agents provide for load testing are: Scale out load generation Efficient load generation (1000 users from a typical machine running a typical web test) IP Switching for testing web farms Per CPU licensing (no vUser licensing) Performance counters collected on Load Agents and machines under test Data (stats and logs) rolled up in central SQL Server for analysis Load Test Monitor enables monitoring a test in progress The key features agents provide for running unit and functional tests are: Parallel distributed functional test execution

Manufacturer's product description
Today's software systems are comprised of numerous distributed services, spanning platforms, protocols, and programming languages, all with significant impact on the operations environment. Moreover, teams have become increasingly specialized and geographically distributed. Successful deployment of modern solutions depends on bridging the communication gap between development and operations so that the entire IT department is represented early and often throughout the software lifecycle. The new Visual Studio Team System expands significantly on Microsoft's demonstrated successes in delivering highly productive tools, by offering businesses tightly integrated and extensible lifecycle tools to increase the predictability of their software development process.
Advantages: Solid toolset, real productivity improvements, edit/continue debugging Disadvantages: No code profiling or source control, slightly suspect UK pricing
...product lifecycle from design through to testing. For home coders, there are also individual free versions of development environments for the main languages, a generous move by Microsoft if you don't need all the bells and whistles of the full blown Pro toolset.
Professional Toolset
It's probably best to say what major components you get with the pro version of VisualStudio2005. You get VC++, C#, VB and VJ# along with appropriate forms editors complete with mobile support, code snippets, database tools and designers. You also get editor support for XML and XSLT, release versions of all the x64bit compilers (although for Itanium support you'll need to go for the Team System version), SQL Server Reporting Services as well as Crystal Reports and the developer version of SQL Server 2005. All in all, a lot of software for your money...
