I used the term "Soak Test" back when I did software testing for AT&T. In our case, this meant
continuous running of a test suite to look for edge conditions ("What happens when test 3 happens
to be running at the same time as test 7?"). Continuous execution of a test suite also tended to
stress the CPU and memory as there were no idle cycles. This testing may be used in
conjunction with environmentals such as temp or power.
