Load Testing ASP.NET AJAX Web Sites

Some people complained about the frequency of my posting. Well, I usually post when there are things worth posting. Daily work isn't that interesting. Nowadays I'm developing some reports for a Web Site using Reporting Services. Nothing very exciting.

But today, I've tried to perform a Web Test using Visual Studio 2005 in a ASP.NET AJAX Web Site. The problem is, when you're recording the test, AJAX asynchronous calls won't appear. Dammit!!!.

Is all lost? No!. I've found in MSDN someone in the community section (great improvement, by the way) posted a workaround. Fiddler is a tool that records HTTP Sessions. Well, it captures AJAX postbacks, too. But what is more interesting: You can save them as Visual Studio 2005 Web Tests!!!.

What does that mean? You're never the first one to encounter a problem.
