Benchmarking
Computer Benchmarking

A series of tests performed in order to gage and set the performance of a computer's components and subsystems by comparing test results with known computer standards.

Computer Benchmarking testing sets the computer's level of operation, and can also uncover the presence of a previously undetected problem or weakness within the computer. Burn-in tests will isolate each component to better identify the exact location and nature of any potential problem.
