If you're running http://localhost : port# /index.html that's running using IIS Express via Visual Studio.

If you create a virtual directory/application you can run the website independent of Visual Studio. Setup an IIS Application: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb763173(v=vs.100).aspx and run your coded ui tests on: http://localhost/alias/index.html
