How to add addtional browsers in Visual Studio 2010

Luckily we can add additional browsers by creating new .browser files in Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\Templates\LoadTest\Browsers (Program Files (x86) on 64-bit systems).  The files are simple XML documents that include a name and a few header items such as user agent so there isn’t really anything scary in there.  For example, the definition for IE8 is as follows:

<Browser Name="Internet Explorer 8.0" MaxConnections="6">

  <Headers>

    <Header Name="User-Agent" Value="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1)" />

    <Header Name="Accept" Value="*/*" />

    <Header Name="Accept-Language" Value="{{$IEAcceptLanguage}}" />

    <Header Name="Accept-Encoding" Value="GZIP" />

  </Headers>

</Browser>

 

Same way you can add other browser like below:

 

Add Internet Explorer 9:

 

<Browser Name="Internet Explorer 9.0" MaxConnections="6">

  <Headers>

    <Header Name="User-Agent" Value="Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/5.0)" />

    <Header Name="Accept" Value="*/*" />

    <Header Name="Accept-Language" Value="{{$IEAcceptLanguage}}" />

    <Header Name="Accept-Encoding" Value="GZIP" />

  </Headers>

</Browser>

 

Add Internet Explorer 10:

 

<Browser Name="Internet Explorer 10.0" MaxConnections="6">

  <Headers>

    <Header Name="User-Agent" Value="Mozilla/6.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/5.0)" />

    <Header Name="Accept" Value="*/*" />

    <Header Name="Accept-Language" Value="{{$IEAcceptLanguage}}" />

    <Header Name="Accept-Encoding" Value="GZIP" />

  </Headers>

</Browser>

 

 

Add Crome 11:

 

<Browser Name="Chrome 11" MaxConnections="6">

  <Headers>   

    <Header Name="User-Agent" Value="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/534.24 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/11.0.696.68 Safari/534.24"/>

    <Header Name="Accept" Value="*/*" />

    <Header Name="Accept-Language" Value="{{$IEAcceptLanguage}}" />

    <Header Name="Accept-Encoding" Value="gzip" />

    <Header Name="Accept-Charset" Value="ISO-8859-1,*,utf-8" />

  </Headers>

</Browser>
