Swedish term

utfallstest

Swedish to English Bus/Financial Finance (general)
Here is the context:

"...betydande överskridningar av utfallstest under rapporteringsperioden."

I know "utfallstest" as "back-testing." I am wondering though if in a financial context, there might be another acceptable term.
Proposed translations (English)
3 back(ward) simulations

Thanks Deane and Chris. "stress testing" is a good option, though translating "stress testing" into Swedish wouldn't give one "back-testing." But it is a good option.
Deane Goltermann Apr 24, 2012:
Agree with Chris here see http://www.creditriskmgt.com/portfolio-stress-test.html, and much more...
Christopher Schröder Apr 24, 2012:
Back-testing is what it is. It's probably part of stress-testing so stress test might also be an appropriate translation in your context.

back(ward) simulations

I've seen these terms to get over the problem that a historical simulation is over future time in finance.
