Scalability testing

Reading over some of the old entries on this blog, I found an interesting article from way back in 2005 on scalability testing. It looks at 7 steps to running effective scalability tests. What surprised me most was not that the steps are still valid all this time later. What is odd is that it talks about SOA in performance testing. This shows how long it has been around. And the issue of performance dependability on external services remains as problematic today as in 2005.
