Install Web Performance and Load Test Project Template into Visual Studio Professional 2012

I want to do load testing inside Visual Studio Professional 2012. According to the tutorial here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/ms182551.aspx, under File > Add > New Project > Installed Templates > Visual C# > Test there should be a project template called Web Performance and Load Test Project.

But there is none in my tool. VS only presents Unit Test as here:

I searched inside online templates the keyword "performance" but there was no such a template again:

How can I find and install that project template called Web Performance and Load Test Project?

I believe you cannot do that. Web performance and load tests are only available within Visual Studio Ultimate edition. See http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/products/compare

In summary, there are five version of Visual Studio

  • Express, the free version. Limited in functionality. Does not support extensions.
  • Professional, has most of the development tools.
  • Premium, adds Coded UI testing
  • Ultimate, adds web performance and load testing.

  • Test professional, has some test tools but no development tools.

In addition to @AdrianHHH answer: Running Visual Studio 2015 you will find it in the renamed Enterprise Edition.

VS2015 reduces to three versions:

  • Visual Studio Community Free, fully-featured IDE for students, open-source and individual developers
  • Visual Studio Professional Professional developer tools, services, and subscription benefits for small teams
  • Visual Studio Enterprise End-to-end solution to meet demanding quality and scale needs of teams of all sizes
