System::EventArgs
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.LoadTesting::TestStartingEventArgs
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | IsInitializeTest | Gets a value that indicates whether the test that is starting is the InitializeTest that was specified in the load test scenario's test mix. |
![]() | IsTerminateTest | Gets a value that indicates whether the test that is starting is the TerminateTest that was specified in the load test scenario's test mix. |
![]() | ScenarioName | Gets the scenario name that contains the test that is starting. |
![]() | TestContextProperties | Gets an IDictionary<TKey, TValue> that contains data available to individual tests in a load test. |
![]() | TestIterationNumber | Gets a value that represents the number of tests that have run within the load test on a particular agent. |
![]() | TestName | Gets the name of the test that is starting. |
![]() | UserContext | Gets the LoadTestUserContext that represents the virtual user that is running the test that is starting. |
| Name | Description | |

![]() | Equals(Object^) | (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize() | (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode() | (Inherited from Object.) |

TestStartingEventArgs establishes an additional pathway for providing data to tests that are contained in a load test. An event handler for the TestStarting event can contain code to add data to the individual tests in the load test. The data is added to the WebTestContext in a Web test or the TestContext in a unit test.
Legacy Code Example
The following code snippet gives a simple example of how to use the TestStartingEventArgs to add data to the starting test iteration in the load test. You write this code in a load test plug-in.
private void TestStarting(object source, TestStartingEventArgs testStartingEventArgs)
{
testStartingEventArgs.TestContextProperties.Add("WebUser", GetNextWebUser());
}
private MyWebUser GetNextWebUser()
{
/// Insert code here to read a user definition from some data source
/// construct user object with data read from data source
return new MyWebUser( ... );
}
