I would like to have users in my company use Fiddler to record web interactions and then export them to Visual Studio webtests. Obviously, this would remove the necessity for many users to have licenses for Visual Studio Enterprise (not inexpensive).

However, my company's website has lots of dependent requests. Visual Studio Enterprise, for the most part, correctly recognizes dependent requests and groups them underneath their parent request after a recording is complete. Fiddler unfortunately does not.

At Sean Lumley's blog at https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/slumley/2007/04/17/writing-fiddler-web-test-plugins/ I can see an example for writing a Fiddler webtest-export plugin. I have created webtest plugins before, so this looks like a good option.

Are there any other things I need to know before starting out? Has a dependent request plugin already been written? Unfortunately, I'm not even aware of the algorithm Visual Studio uses for correctly sorting dependent requests.

No answers yet. Maybe you can help?
