Abstract
Computation of a metric, termed “memory pressure,” provides an indication of software application scalability, in terms of memory, when making changes to multi-user applications. The memory pressure metric may be measured on a single user application run and does not require running the application under load tests. Since the metric can be measured on single user application runs, software testing and assessment takes considerably less time, resulting in developer productivity increase.
