I believe you cannot do that. Web performance and load tests are only available within Visual Studio Ultimate edition. See http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/products/compare

In summary, there are five version of Visual Studio

• Express, the free version. Limited in functionality. Does not support extensions.
• Professional, has most of the development tools.
• Premium, adds Coded UI testing

• Ultimate, adds web performance and load testing.

• Test professional, has some test tools but no development tools.
