The Steps of Creating Vuser Scripts

The following diagram outlines the process of developing a Vuser script:

The process of creating a Vuser script is as follows:
1 Record a basic script using VuGen. If you are testing Windows-based GUI
applications or complex Web environments such as applets and Flash,
you may need to use HP’s GUI-based tools such as WinRunner and
QuickTest Professional.
2 Enhance the basic script by adding control-flow statements and other
LoadRunner API functions into the script.
3 Configure the run-time settings. These settings include iteration, log, and
timing information, and define the Vuser behavior during a script run.
4 Verify the script’s functionality, run it in standalone mode.
5 After you verify that the script is functional, you integrate it into your
environment: a LoadRunner scenario, Performance Center load test, or
Business Process Monitor profile. For more information, see the HP
LoadRunner Controller, HP Performance Center, or HP Business Availibility
Center User Guides.
