There's no "standard" unfortunately 
You can use a small/dense, no AI, accel BBS, and the "25K by 2450" mark.
Others prefer small/packed or medium/packed.
Others throw in beginner minerals to facilitate comparison.
Others use "armageddons by 2460" as a mark.
Personally I use the first one I said, and I add in 3 expert AIs (2 SS and 1 PP) when I want to do some "real" testing. I use those AI because they are annoying, the HE is just free colonies (and tech) in a small and the others just sit there doing almost nothing.
BTW 40K/2450 with AR is a very good performace which requires specific study, since the AR race is substantially different from all the other races. I'm sure I would NOT qualify for such a game...

So, you basically design your race, save it to a file, then create a game with the settings you like to test, then play until you can say the race design performs as expected (or better, or worse)...

But of course you've seen nothing till you've been in a real game.
