Load Test Stuck in Pending with Test Rig because of DNS problems

April 27, 2010

Trying to run Visual Studio 2010 Load Tests with a Load Test Rig but the tests always get stuck in the Pending state?

It could be DNS problems.  Make sure that your Load Test Controller can resolve the name of all the Load Test Agent machines and vice versa.  While you’re at it, make sure that your Load Test Controller and Agents can resolve the name of the server that’s trying to start the Load Test (eg. your development workstation.)
