Hi
Here are the Opinions of the some of the allinterview users
posted in previous on Scalability Testing..
1.scalabilty is nothing but how many users that the
application should handle
2.Scalability is nothing but maximum no of users that the
system can handle
3.Scalability testing is a subtype of performance test
where
performance requirements for response time, throughput,
and/or utilization are tested as load on the SUT is
increased over time.
4.
as a part of scalability testing we test the expandability
of the application.
in scalability we test 1.Applicaation scalability
2.Performance scalability
Application scalability: to test the possibility of
implementing new features in the system or updating the
existing features of the system. with the help of design
doc we do this testing
Performance scalability:
to test how the s/w perform when it is subjected to
varying loads to measure and to evaluate the the
performance behaviour and the ability fo the s/w to
continue to function properly under different workloads.
--> to check the comfort level of an application in terms
of user load. and user experience and system tolerance
levels
--> the point within an application that when subjected to
increasing workload begin to degrade in terms of end user
experience and system tolerance
--> response time
execution time
system resource utilization
network delays
--> stress testing
Thanks & Regards

Scalability testing differs from simple load testing in
that it focuses on the performance of your Web sites,
hardware and software products, and internal applications at
all the stages from minimum to maximum load.

Scalability is nothing but measurement, the metrics. it is
mostly bound to the performance.

They showed me a Web page containing 3 text boxes labeled as Name, D.O.B & Blood Group.It also have 3 Buttons as OK, CANCEL,Reset. They told me that 1) when you click on OK it'll route you to the next page and save the data in the database. 2) When you click on CANCEL it'll route you to the previous page. 3) When you click on Reset it'll clears all the entries made by you. Now they asked me to write Test cases to test the functionality of that web page & asked me to write 1 critical test case after which they will give final go ahead to test the rest of the application... I wasn't able to write the critical test case. Plz answer.
