So you have all your web applications in place for your ecommerce website, and you’re confident in your application quality. This ideal scenario is one to which every ecommerce store operator should aspire. However, how do you make sure your application quality will hold up over time, or through various scenarios and conditions? This is where load testing and scalability testing are of paramount importance to your overall ecommerce website development strategy. The Difference Between Scalability Testing and Load Testing Although they are similar, there is a difference between scalability testing and load testing, and both are necessary to ensure the success of your ecommerce website. Load testing simulates the work-load conditions for the application that is being tested; whereas scalability testing is designed to discover whether your website applications will withstand sudden workload growth. Typically, both tests are performed multiple times using different working variables.
