Scalability Testing

Scalability Testing is the non functional Testing. In this Testing we check the capability of the system in scale up or scale down. Scale Up and Scale down to means to check the capability of the system or Network to check the growing amount of work in order to accommodate that growth. In Scalability Testing we measure the system capability in terms of growing the workload per user, Growing the concurrent users or the size of the database.


The main goal of the Scalability Testing to determine the user limit for the web application and check the end user experienced. This is verified under the hight load.

When we test an application we are not sure the the number of user will access this web application. So in starting we prepare the 3 sets to check the load first for the basic level(Basic Load), second for the advance (Medium Load) and third one is the extended (High Load) to check the web application.

Attribute of Scalability Testing:
  • Response Time of the web server after request sent to the server.
  • Throughput
  • Hits Per Second to the particular web page
  • Request per Second onto the server
  • Transaction Per Second from the software
  • Varies Performance with varies number of Users
  • Verify Performance in High Load
  • CPU Usage during varies number of Users
  • Memory Usage during varies number of Users
  • Network Usage during varies number of Users

Why Jmeter is best option for Performance Testing?

There are multiple tools in market for performance testing of any software but Jmeter is the best solution among all of them due to some reason listed below 1) Jmeter is the open source application so users who use this application will not to pay anything. 2) You can use Jmeter for performance of any web application,  Databases and Web Services (REST and SOAP APIs). 3) Jmeter have the user friendly UI component so it is very easy to use. 4) Jmeter can be used to simulate to put maximum number of concurrent users on a server, network or object to test its strength or to analyze overall performance under different load types. 5) Jmeter also use for functional testing for static( JavaScript and HTML) and dynamic( JSP, Servlets and AJAX) resources. 6) Jmeter provides Verity of graphical representations for performance report so it is easy to understand.

Causes of Software Defects

It is practically impossible that developer develop a bug free software and that software we can deliver without Testing. If the complexity of the software increased then there must be bugs that can harm the users who will use that software.
