Visual Studio 2017 (Enterprise) - Where are the Web performance and load testing tools?

Yesterday I wanted to do some performance testing before we put a new application into production. However when I opened Visual Studio (2017) I couldn’t find the Web performance and load testing tools.

Are there no longer available in VS 2017? Luckily, they still are. But they are not installed out-of-the-box.

Let’s open the Visual Studio installer and fix this:

  • Search for Visual Studio Installer and execute it
