How many maximum testings (drops) you need to perform, even in worst scenario, to identify the highest floor from which the dropped egg will not shatter?

Assume that,
1. If egg survives the drop, it will remain unchanged.
2. If an egg breaks at a floor, it will break at every floor above it.
3. If an egg survives a floor, it will survive for all floors below it.

Can you identify the maximum number of egg droppings, in wrost scenario, using only three eggs?
