scale
A major concern when writing a Java app using only a small test case is what will happen to it under heavy real life loads. In other words will it scale well. We can mathematically predict the scaling behaviour of various sorting algorithms, lookup algorthims, and searching algorithms. For various databases and servlet wombs we know from experience just what sorts of loads they can handle.
