Stress test

A stress test uses a script to generate a high volume of transactions on the Bitcoin network and continues to broadcast them.

Stress tests are conducted under the assumption that someone may try to burden the system for their own benefit. It is one way to certify and troubleshoot future technological development from multiple perspectives.

As a result of current stress tests, people are becoming aware that an increase in block size and a dynamic transaction fee need to be implemented.
