What is a USZ file?

USZ files mostly belong to LoadRunner. LoadRunner User Script Zip (USZ) files are specialized archives that package performance test scripts used with Micro Focus LoadRunner. Internally, they follow the ZIP file format, bundling test scripts along with configuration and resource files required for performance testing.
Main uses:
  • Contain performance testing scripts
  • Include configuration settings and assets
  • Support load simulation executions
  • FilExt.com note: Though these files use the ZIP structure, opening them with standard ZIP utilities only reveals the contents. For proper modifications and executions, they must be managed within Micro Focus LoadRunner. Refer to this page for more details on performance engineering.

    How to open USZ files

    You need a suitable software like LoadRunner to open a USZ file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your USZ file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a USZ file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
