Evaluating and Deploying OpenOffice

Hello,
I have been assigned the task of evaluating and deploying OpenOffice for several clients. I just read eWeek Labs article “OpenOffice sports all-around improvements”. I’d like to ask several questions, if I may:

1. What test do you use to test the performance of OpenOffice?

2. How do you go about testing each application of OpenOffice??

3. What are the “best” practice methods for evaluating OpenOffice???

ANY information you provide, I’d be most “Thankful”…

Thank you,
