+> Web performance and load test functionality is deprecated in Visual Studio 2019. For Application Insights, multi-step web tests depend on Visual Studio webtest files. It was [announced](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/cloud-based-load-testing-service-eol/) that Visual Studio 2019 will be the last version with webtest functionality. However, support has been extended to Visual Studio 2022. It is important to understand that while no new features will be added, webtest functionality in Visual Studio 2022 is still currently supported and will continue to be supported during the support lifecycle of the product. (You can run existing web/load tests, but the templates to create new ones were removed.) The Azure Monitor product team has addressed questions regarding the future of multi-step availability tests [here](https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/issues/26050#issuecomment-468814101). We recommend using [Apache JMeter](https://jmeter.apache.org) in [Azure Load Test](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/load-testing/) as an alternative.
