Introducing the Virtual User Generator (Vu. Gen) Ø HP’s tool for creating Vuser scripts is the Virtual User Generator, Vu. Gen. Ø During recording Vu. Gen monitors the client end of the database and traces all the requests sent by the user and received from the user, to the server. Ø During playback, Vuser scripts communicate directly with the server by executing calls to the server API. Ø When a Vuser communicates directly with a server, system resources are not required for the client interface. This allows a large number of Vusers to run simultaneously on a single workstation, and few testing machines are required to emulate large server loads. >>>>>>>>>>> www. softwaretestinggenius. com <<<<<<<<<<<
