A system that slows 15% under triple load is scaling reasonably. A system that works perfectly at 999 concurrent users and errors out at 1,000 has a cliff edge, and a cliff edge, from a customer\u2019s side, looks identical to the product simply breaking.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559738&quot;:180,&quot;335559739&quot;:180}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Scalability Testing vs.\u202fPerformance Testing<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:200,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Performance testing asks how fast the system is under a given, realistic load.
