“Scalability” is a rather ambiguous term
Submitted by Yury Makedonov on Thu, 02/11/2006 - 02:01. non-functional testing | performance testing | this.site“Scalability” is a rather ambiguous term, and there is a lot of confusion about it.
Let’s take a look at Wikipedia’s definition:
--------------------------------------------
“In telecommunications and software engineering, scalability is a desirable property of a system, a network or a process, which indicates its ability to either handle growing amounts of work in a graceful manner, or to be readily enlarged. For example, it can refer to the capability of a system to increase total throughput under an increased load when resources (typically hardware) are added.”

Testing museum

It was rather interesting although not a lot of original test artefacts were present there.

Software Test & Performance Conference 2005
Submitted by Yury Makedonov on Fri, 25/11/2005 - 22:33. GUI test tools | test approaches | test automation | test techniques | this.siteI really enjoyed the STP conference. I am not afraid to say that it was the best conference that I've ever attended. Almost all the presentations that I attended were very good. I was especially impressed by Hung Nguyen (I've never been to one of his presentations before). His straight to the point presentation was about test automation outsourcing.
