Hi Alexey,

I have a question regarding load testing. Is sql server database or database on local box required in order to run LOAD TEST?

Well, the answer is Yes and No.
Technically you do not need SQL Server in order to run Load Tests, but SQL Server is needed for storing Load Test Results, you may elect not to store the data or you can configure a remote SQL Server to hold the Load Test Results database. Here is a good article that outlines your option with regards to SQL Server configuration:

hope that it helps
