the LoadRunner testing process

Creating Vuser Scripts
Chapter 1, page 4
Introducing Vuser Scripts · Developing Vuser Scripts
In
LoadRunner has a variety of Vuser types, each type suited to a particular load
testing environment. This enables you to use Vusers to accurately model and
emulate real world situations. The actions that a Vuser performs during the
scenario are described in a
Vuser script
. The Vuser scripts include functions that
measure and record the performance of the server during the scenario. Each Vuser
type requires a particular type of Vuser script. Creating the Vuser scripts required
for a scenario is part of the LoadRunner testing process.
The chart below shows the five steps of the LoadRunner testing process. This
guide describes Step II, "Creating Vuser Scripts." For details about the other steps,
refer to your
LoadRunner Controller User's Guide
