Step 1. Install Microsoft Visual Studio

Programs to open WEBTEST file

Remember to download programs supporting WEBTEST files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Visual Studio with WEBTEST files

If, despite the installed application, the WEBTEST file does not start in the Microsoft Visual Studio application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the WEBTEST file with the Microsoft Visual Studio application.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Visual Studio to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Visual Studio program, it is possible that Microsoft Visual Studio Web Test requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WEBTEST file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the WEBTEST file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our WEBTEST file. Sometimes virus-infected WEBTEST files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WEBTEST file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WEBTEST file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WEBTEST files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move WEBTEST to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the WEBTEST file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the WEBTEST file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
