Auf CodePlex ist das WCF Load Test Tool verfügbar, das basierend auf einem WCF trace file, einem WCF Client proxy oder einem WCF Interface contract einen Unit-Test erstellt und diesen basierend auf der Abfolge von Methoden-Aufrufen, die im trace file stehen, ausführt.
Das Tool erzeugt Code für Visual Studio 2005 und 2008.
Aktuell sind folgende Features vorhanden:
- Replay of captured scenario in a unit test that can be included in a load test.
- Support for the DataContractSerializer.
- Support for message contracts.
- Support for proxies generated using svcutil.
- Support for clients that create proxies at run time from contract interfaces.
- Supports calls to multiple services in a single scenario.
- Supports multiple calls to the same service operation.
- Filtering by SOAP action of which messages in the trace to replay.
- Readable and modifiable code is generated.
- Automatic association of trace message with proxy method (requires all operations to have a unique SOAP action).
- Support for client and server side traces.
- A command line tool for processing traces and generating code.
- Visual Studio 2005/2008 integration (Team Developer, Team Test, Team Suite and for 2008 also Professional)) that can be used instead of the command line tool.
