A Look Inside the Brains of Boeing 787 Flight Test

This article is a nice overview of the flight test environment, specifically concentrating on efforts with the telemetry control room during recent 787 test flights evaluating flutter:

Wired.com was in Boeing’s telemetry room on Friday during the final flutter-test flight as teams of engineers diligently worked with test pilots Mike Carriker and Regis Hancock aboard 787 ZA001. As the test pilots executed test after test after test, the engineers on the ground quietly studied computer monitors and, yes, paper strip charts to ensure oscillations introduced to the flight controls were effectively damped and the composite aircraft was ready to fly safely throughout its flight envelope.
