Serverless computing in Azure with .NET

Load testing

Load testing HTTP-triggered functions can be set up by creating Web tests using either the Visual Studio IDE or VSTS online workspace.

Such testing can be set up using a URL-based test that calls the function URL from specified geo-locations with appropriate parameters, and measure the function's performance. The load testing setup with VSTS will be covered in detail in the next chapter after setting up the VSTS account and continuous delivery pipeline.

Load testing of non-HTTP triggered functions involves triggering Unit Tests from Load Tests. This process will not be covered in this book.
