They may test the instrument under, for example, the following stresses:  What happens if unemployment rate rises to v% in a specific year?  What happens if equity markets crash by more than w% this year?  What happens if GDP falls by x% in a given year?  What happens if interest rates go up by at least y%?  What if half the instruments in the portfolio terminate their contracts in the fifth year?  What happens if oil prices rise by z%? I notice that they don't have one like "What if bank reserve assets increase suddenly by x% in one week?"
