Scalability testing is an extension of performance testing. The purpose of scalability testing is to identify major workloads and mitigate bottlenecks that can impede the scalability of the application.
Use performance testing to establish a baseline against which you can compare future performance tests. As an application is scaled up or out, a comparison of performance test results will indicate the success of scaling the application. When scaling results in degraded performance, it is typically the result of a bottleneck in one or more resources.
Scalability testing, is the testing of a software application to measure its capability to scale up or scale out in terms of any of its non-functional capability.
The main goals of scalability testing are to determine the user limit for the web application and ensure end user experience, under a high load, is not compromised. One example is if a web page can be accessed in a timely fashion with a limited delay in response. Another goal is to check if the server can cope i.e. Will the server crash if it is under a heavy load?
