They were tested for dry and wet stopping power and modulation, heat dissipation, and also making sure they wouldn't squeal (unless you do a panic stop coming down a big mountain). I know that Swissstop did a lot of the same testing in the development of the Black price (but of course I didn't get to see that first hand).
