OpenText VuGen test scripts

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

OpenText VuGen scripts overview

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

By including OpenText VuGen scripts in your performance tests, you can run OpenText 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 in online and offline graphs and in Analysis, using the data points from the OpenText VuGen test scripts.
