The GUI Script is used to write the record and play gui application.and the VU script is used to write the script to test client server based performance testing.

GUI script is for functional testing. VU and VB scripts are for performance testing.

GUI Scripts: Used to play back the GUI activities you record.

VU scripts ? Used to play back the client/server requests you record during performance testing sessions.

GUI scripts and VU scripts are used for different purposes. GUI scripts are used for functional testing of a client application GUI; VU scripts are used for performance testing of the server side. Robot can record both a GUI and a VU script on the same application, for example, a web site accessed through a browser. Two completely different scripts will be generated: a GUI script that uses the SQABasic scripting language and a VU script that uses the VU scripting language. When the GUI script is played back, the application is actually invoked and run. When the VU script played back, the application is never invoked; instead, the VU script simulates the client/server traffic that would take place as if the application had been run. The fact that a user is playing back two different types of scripts is going to make the report times different. The last main difference is that VU scripts use command ids for IBM Rational TestManager  Performance Reports, but GUI scripts do not have command ids.

GUI scripts recrod keyboard inputs and mouse clicks

VU scripts record request send by the application to server and also the reply from the server.

GUI scripts support Verification points

VU scripts do not support Verification Points
