The purpose of scalability testing is to determine whether your application scales for the workload growth.

If the scalability tests report that the application is not scalable, this means there is a bottleneck somewhere within the application.

Scalability testing can be performed as a series of load tests with different hardware or software configurations keeping other settings of testing environment unchanged.

Scalability Testing, part of the battery of non-functional tests, is the testing of a software application for measuring its capability to scale up or scale out [1]- in terms of any of its non-functional capability - be it the user load supported, the number of transactions, the data volume etc. Performance, Scalability & Reliability (PSR) are usually considered together by Software Test professionals.

Scalability testing lets you ensure that your web application is scalable, that is, it can handle an increased workload with added resources and determine whether it best scales up, by upgrading the server hardware, or out, by improving the application code to distribute processing across several servers. Scalability testing is performed as a series of load tests with different server hardware or software configurations while keeping other test environment characteristics unchanged.
