I received a download link for vstf_testagent.exe from a Microsoft Learn page. https://download.microsoft.com/download/8/7/a/87a28af1-1623-4e08-b62d-0429f05382b7/vstf_testagent.exe

This is the offline-installer I need to set up the relevant test environment for vstest.console.exe on my test-agent without installing Visual Studio. Is there a way to confirm if the above download link is the latest version of vstf_testagent.exe? Is there a webpage that will always redirect me to the latest installer, so I can find the latest version in the future? Also, I am looking for a download page for the version of vstf_test_agent.exe that was distributed with Visual Studio 2015 Update 3.

would you please support me for above 3 topics, many thanks.

    If you have any issues with the test agent, please report it in Azure DevOps forum. Thanks for your understanding. 

    Sincerely,

    Anna
