The Microsoft Dynamics™ CRM 3.0 Performance and Stress Testing Toolkit is a tool that was created by the Microsoft® CRM product team to formalize performance testing of Microsoft CRM 3.0. This toolkit facilitates load testing for particular customer scenarios. Taking the time to carefully consider and gather dataset and workload requirements, together with accurate modeling of those requirements may prevent added expense if a performance or scalability design is discovered late in the implementation process. This document, together with the code and examples in the toolkit, are designed to provide a solid foundation for running robust and meaningful performance tests.
