Question

How to stress test a WPF application which uses TPL? Are there any automated tools available ?

Answer 1

For writing the stress tests you could use White to write your automated ui tests and then run them but not sure of any tools that will automatically stress test your application.

A better way to think of it is to stress test say an API function/service endpoint I guess and use something like osherove thread tester to spin up the threads easily

for monitoring the performance of the stress test I think you should check out this

http://www.red-gate.com/products/dotnet-development/ants-performance-profiler/

I think it is free to dowload and trial for 30 days, it does a lot of what you ask for, you can see what is happening on what thread, how long each task and subtask is taking, it renders this out quite nicely as well.

I think jetbrains has an equivalent which is pretty much feature equivalent.

If you can’t fix your problem in the 30 days trial with redgate you then just download the jetbrains one and use that 30 days as well.

Good luck
