Organizations don’t just require application scalability; they also require the predictability of application scalability. To predict how an application will behave under increasing load, it is important to understand the factors that affect scalable performance as load is increased.

The ultimate goal in predictability is to be able to understand the resource cost represented by the average user and to drive all of the other factors as close to zero as possible. In other words, if you quantify the resource utilization of each user, you might be able to predict the amount of resources that would be necessary to support any given number of users.
