This topic describes how to upload your scripts from VuGen to LoadRunner Enterprise to then run performance tests.

VuGen scripts overview

VuGen is Micro Focus's primary tool for creating testing scripts that emulate the behavior of real users on your system.

By including VuGen scripts in your LoadRunner Enterprise tests, you can run VuGen test scripts side-by-side with any other scripts, giving you a single entry point for executing your performance tests.

Measurements can be viewed online and offline (via LoadRunner Enterprise and Analysis), using the data points from the VuGen test scripts.
