yes you r right.normally when we write a script we can test it using multiple vusers or as we say virtual users.one has to go to controller and then write a script and based on the need of the client/customer one can set as many vusers  one wants to test the performance of the application.

Script and Data pool are the two mandatory things to simulate n number of virtual users. first we need to record/develop a script for our transaction. Then we have to create datapool according to the required number of virtual users. Next we need to parameterize the script. At last run the script with datapool for required number of virtual users. For example record the script for Login into particular page. Create datapool with different username and password. parameterize the username and password parameters in the script. Run the script with datapool for required number of users(We should have that much amount of username&password in our datapool).
