In IT and software development, the scream test is when you don't know if something (a file, server, a product or service) is still being used so you take it away and see if anybody screams.
In politics, the scream test is whether outcry or complaint from a particular group or entity is induced by the discussion, proposition, or enaction of some legal measure.
