VuGen test scripts

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

VuGen scripts overview

VuGen enables you to create testing scripts that emulate the behavior of real users on your system.

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

Measurements can be viewed online and offline in OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering and Analysis, using the data points from the VuGen test scripts.
