Just want to make the point that on Bitcoin Cash, we don't consider transactions as spam as long as they pay a fee.
"It pays, it stays"
The stress test is users exercising the system, to find out for better or worse what the practical limits are. This includes what limits miners are currently imposing on the size of blocks.
Miners may have good reasons to limit throughput using the tools available to them. This includes preserving the health of the system, including economic full nodes.
Users participating in the stress test may include potential future users, who would not like to reveal themselves by conducting severe stress operations under regular conditions. This planned community stress test provides general cover for anyone to measure if Bitcoin Cash is up to the tasks they have in mind, or not yet.
When I say users, I include investors. Why would you invest in something unless it demonstrates that it can deliver what it promises?
Remember, Bitcoin is a balance of powers and a system of incentives.
From this test, miners will learn, users will learn, devs will learn. And then we will all make Bitcoin Cash even better.
