Scalability testing in software testing
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.

Business to be scalable

Application to be scalable
Scalability is the ability of a program to scale. For example, if you can do something on a small database (say less than 1000 records), a program that is highly scalable would work well on a small set as well as working well on a large set (say millions, or billions of records).
