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.
Performance, scalability and reliability testing are usually grouped together by software quality analysts.
The primary goals of scalability testing are to determine the user limit for the Web application, determine and end user experience under load, for example, can users access a web page in a timely manner. Another goal is to determine server-side robustness and degradation i.e. Will the server crash if it is under a heavy load? [1]
