extendability
Capacity for lengthening
Extendability is the quality of being extendable—the capacity to be lengthened, expanded, or added to.
The term appears most often in technical contexts: software with extendability can accommodate new features; a table with extendability has leaves that increase its length.
The platform's extendability made it popular with developers.
Extensibility means the same thing and is more common.
