Explanation

Load Runner allows manual script creation using its C-based scripting API without recording. You can write scripts from scratch using VuGen (Virtual User Generator) by coding the functions directly. This is useful when you can't record (no access to application) or need more control than recording provides. The scripting approach provides full flexibility to customize test scenarios programmatically.

AI explanation

LoadRunner's VuGen scripting environment is just a C-like (or other supported language) scripting IDE at its core — recording is a convenience feature that auto-generates API calls, but a tester can write the same function calls (e.g., web_submit_data, lr_think_time) entirely by hand without ever recording a session. This manual approach is commonly used for protocols or scenarios where recording doesn't capture clean, parameterizable code.
