Virtual Users and Virtual User Scripts

It is important to understand the distinction between a virtual user (VU) and a virtual user script.

A virtual user script defines a series of actions that a user performs when interacting with a client/server application; whereas a VU runs virtual user scripts during test execution.

A virtual user can run a single virtual user script, or a sequence of virtual user scripts. In Eggplant Performance, a sequence of virtual user scripts is called a workflow.
