Summary

Application Center Test gives you an extremely useful tool to determine requirements for your Web sites. By using the macro recording in Visual Studio .NET to record mouse and keyboard strokes to the browser, you can set up a test script that the ACT can run based on different performance parameters that you modify. Using tools such as ACT and Visual Studio Analyzer will answer the performance questions you might have.
