We use Virtual User concepts in LoadRunner(LR). In LR we
create Scripts for one user. Now we create as many VUsers
as we want through LR. Once we create the VUsers, LR
performs the actions with the number of VUsers we created
and measures the performance.

Answer / karthik
Befor knowing What V users are we should think why to have
V users and appreciate its function. While testing an

at the same point of time. Thats y v use V users.Here V
stands for Virtual....

Answer / shirisha and sowmya and tejasw
vusers are the imaginary users where we create single
script and can create any number users. That is replacing
human users with virtual users. For example, if we want to
test an application with 1000 users then we cannot bring
all the users to test the application so, in that case we
can create virtual users inorder to test our application.

Answer / amar jeet sahu
As the word clarify it's meaning, these are the users
created by script-functions in load runner in order to
perform the load testing of the application. It is not
possible to simultaneous login of the large numbers of
users by a group of testers at the time of testing and we
have to check the load for 100 or 1000 or more users(which
is the actual scenario). So, in this case the VIRTUAL USER
concept is used.

Answer / sowmya
In load runner we create a script for one user and create
no of vusers.To replace human users we create vusers.
If a web application is used by 1000 people at a time and
we have to test the application then we cannt bring 1000
testers to test the app.Instead of that we use the concept
of vusers.

Load runner replaces human users with yirtual users or
vusers.
Purpose:
