Load Generation tool for BizTalk

Microsoft is now offering an as-is tool for load generation on BizTalk.

Now we can detect those performance bottlenecks before Production 🙂

I’ve added the link to my Biztalk Link Page

The tool supports intelligent mechanisms for generating messages and support the following transports out of the box:

• FILE Transport [Local and UNC Path. Can also be used for FTP & POP3]
  
• HTTP Transport [Asynchronous & Request-Response]
  
• SOAP Transport [Asynchronous & Request-Response] [Expects Headers & Envelopes as parameters]
  
• MSMQ Transport [Private: Transactional/Non-Transactional] [Large Messages: >4MB]
  
• MQ-Series Transport [Local/Remote In-Ordered/Non-InOrdered Persistent/Non-Persistent]
  
• WSE Transport [Asynchronous & Request-Response]
  
• WSS Transport

Furthermore, it supports commandline & gui, so it should be possible todo do this load test in an automated build 🙂
