Scenarios: Scenarios define the events that occur during each testing session. In LoadRunner, we can divide the performance testing requirements into multiple scenarios. Basically, a scenario defines and controls:

• Number of Vusers to emulate
• Actions that they perform
• Machines on which they run

• How the application will handle the expected and unexpected transactions required by the business?
• To check the stability of application under heavy loads?
