The present invention relates to a set top box demultiplexer (demux) pressure testing method, system, and testing device. The method comprises: defining a global enable flag in a main thread, and configuring data tables to be filtered, a PID of each data table, and the number of times a PID of each filter table needs to be filtered; defining a group of global array variable tags in sub-threads so as to record the number of times the PID of each data table is filtered, the data table passing a pressure test if the number of times each data table PID is filtered satisfies a set range in comparison with the number of times the filter table needs to be filtered; the main thread detecting, according to a set cycle period, the number of times each data table PID in the sub-threads is filtered; and when the main thread detects that all of the data tables pass the stress test, immediately setting the global enable flag to 0 from 1, determining that the demux stress test has been passed, and ending the test. In this way, a test can be ended after the test has been passed, without waiting a fixed length of time, and the test result is accurate and highly credible, greatly satisfying testing requirements.
