It's called "checking the total load currently on an existing circuit."
The simplest way is to use a clamp-on ammeter.

Load Current Measurement Test ?
This refers to a one time current measurement using a clamp on instrument. Now if you are talking about loads over time then that is usually referred to as Load Monitoring and Recording. This is usually done before a breaker is added to a distribution panel.
