I think there will be considerable in flight tests made on every aspect of the aircraft's performance. I doubt it's going into passenger service before complete testing.
A TV show was made about the development and testing of the 777. I'd be real interested in one about 787. But since it's 2 years late getting into the air maybe Boeing's less than finest performance won't be made public.
