What is Scalability testing

      It is not functional testing, which is also called performance testing.

      This testings helps to find out how the application or product scales with the increased load in terms of users or data.

Attributes

• throughput - is defined as the number of                  
             requests processed per unit time;

• response time - is the time between the user's     
  ​           request and the response from        the  application server;

• memory usage - checks the amount of memory 
             used to perform any task in the 
             application;

• CPU usage - checks the processor used when 
             performing any tasks in the
  ​           application;

• network usage - checks the number of bytes, 
             packets received or sent per second 
             over the network;

Scaling types
