Testing: OpenSSL has extensive tests of its own.  I've had several people do speed testing on various hardware and done some myself, including Nehalem, Sandy Bridge, and Ivy Bridge (full results in the linked private bug).

qa-regression-testing's test-openssl.py has one failure which I think is spurious (there are just new ciphers):

FAIL: test_ciphers (__main__.OpenSSLTest)
