A. Stress Testing Defined. Stress testing is a risk management technique used to evaluate the potential effects on an institutionâs financial condition, of a set of specified changes in risk factors, corresponding to exceptional but plausible events. Stress testing includes scenario testing and sensitivity testing (refer to Glossary). Stress testing is especially important after long periods of benign economic and financial conditions, when fading memory of negative conditions can lead to complacency and the underpricing of risk.
A stress test therefore puts the heart into such a condition so that is functioning can be assessed. A pregnancy stress test is used to determine the health of the baby just prior to delivery. The pregnancy stress test is used to determine if there is something wrong with the babyâs heart or circulatory system. If such a problem is detected during pregnancy stress testing, then measures can be taken to induce early labor or to prepare for the emergency help required when the delivery is taking place.
