Visual Studio Agents 11 Developer Preview is the essential suite of agents and controllers that enable you to build and test applications across the desktop, server, and cloud. Test controllers and test agents provide the ability to scale out load generation, and support distributed data collection and distributed test execution. Test agents also manage testing, workflow, and network isolation for virtual machines used with Visual Studio Lab Management.

 Visual Studio Agents 11 Developer Preview is a prerelease version of Visual Studio Agents, and should not be used in production scenarios.
