Steps To Record An Application Using Loadrunner

First, let us try to have quick access to load testing:
While the purpose of a load test an application and we use LoadRunner to replace the human user with virtual users (the “VUsers”) on the current list of machines. This introduction VUsers artificial load on the system by emulating the actions of human reality to a user in a predictable and repeatable within reach.

Virtual User-generator module LoadRunner generally known as VuGen user artificially create for ourselves and our actions all records in the form of automated scripts. VuGen works on the principle of recording and playback.
