This means that a system is subjected to
increased transaction loads to see how it responds. If it can
handle 10,000 transactions an hour, what happens if it gets 100,000
or 1,000,000? If an ATM can access an account and display the
balance in 3 seconds when there are no other ATMs accessing the
mainframe, what happens to the response time when 1,000 ATMs
are active simultaneously?
