Wow! I started off saying "Hello everyone!" and already getting a lot of feedback on things I've since lost touch of. Thanks to EVERYONE who has provided a response so far as I'm learning a lot with each new reply.
From what I can understand the Testbeds mentioned provide "snapshots" of how a race could work and has a secondary benefit of forcing a mindset that can be applied in real games. If one can't maximize their own Economy (by shooting for 25k by 2450) then they will have a significant difficulty getting the most out of their race in tight situations.
With the BB Test, you are applying yourself to War Tech and progress, though the Testbed uses Maximum minerals to get them out as soon as possible and assumes the best case scenario. Furthermore the Test takes into account tech that is available to everyone. The one thing I didn't know about was the following from CC:

This piece of history gives me a good snapshot of what to expect in each of the "Eras" and something I've had a lot of difficulty finding. I'm trying to piece together my own "guide" on each of the different In-Game "Eras" on a Google Site project I've been working on that will take in all this information and chew it out into my own words. Being able to apply this with each different economy helps get a good feeling of what to expect from other races as well with enough experience.
What it boils down to like with any evaluative scenario that YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) with each testbed, though they allow you to get a good snapshot of what to expect in the most ideal situation from yourself and from enemy civilizations!
Please let me know if I am missing anything!
