We have around 15 wcf services hosted in windows service. Some of the are in .NET 4.0 and some in .NET 3.5.

I would like to know how to perform load/stress/performance testing of wcf services hosted in windows service. The client uses .net tcp binding to communicate with the services. Also, most of the API's return a stream for performance's sake.

I was able to find some tools for wcf service testing hosted in IIS but dont know a way to do load/stress/performance testing for services hosted in window service.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
