Download and run a sample load generation load test against an existing SharePoint farm

This template will prepare the target SharePoint farm for load test execution and download and run a load test on an existing test controller by creating the following resources:

• One custom script VM extension on an existing SharePoint VM resource to prepare the farm for load testing
• One custom script VM extension on an existing Visual Studio test controller VM resource to download and execute a load test run

Notes

• This template assumes that a SharePoint 2013 farm and a VS 2013 TC/TA farm are deployed.
  • To deploy a SharePoint farm you can use the templates at:
    • https://github.com/Azure/AzureStack-QuickStart-Templates/tree/master/sharepoint-2013-non-ha or
    • https://github.com/Azure/AzureStack-QuickStart-Templates/tree/master/sharepoint-2013-single-vm
  • To deploy the Visual Studio TC/TA farm you can use the template at:
    • https://github.com/Azure/AzureStack-QuickStart-Templates/tree/master/vs2013-tcta
• This template makes use of nested templates for deploying the VM extensions, the main template (azuredeploy.json) assumes that the SharePoint 2013 and VS 2013 TC/TA farms are deployed on the same resource group. If they however are on different resource groups:
  • Deploy SharePointFarmPrepareForLoadTest.json on the SharePoint 2013 resource group
  • Deploy TestControllerRunLoadTest.json on the VS 2013 TC/TA resource group The above templates can be deployed from the portal or from PowerShell; follow the instructions in the sections bellow but instead of using azuredeploy.json use the above .json files instead.
