Silverlight Performance Testing

Question

My company has a Silverlight application running on asp.net. Does anyone have any recommendations on any performance testing tools, how will the application work in a client browser? Any tools that could simulate various PC configurations (memory, processor, etc.)

thanks

Answer 1

VS 2010 can now profile Silverlight

However, I was not able to run this approach (yet) on a 64-bit version of Windows 7

Silverlight 4 Profiling

Answer 2

Use Eqatec for profiling. This is amazing.

With it, you can profile any .net application, including Silverlight, Silverlight on WP7, ASP.net, Windows Forms, WPF, etc.

Answer 3

To simulate different HW configurations, you can try to test the virtual machine, or you can disable the processor cores and disable the processor in the BIOS, and you can disable a specific RAM size in the Windows configuration.
