whew, thank goodness it's not a 737MAX /s
"where its builders have put it through final tests"
I'm curious how they test a sensor like this. I'd assume it's designed for a single "lens". Do they use some version of a standard test chart? Are they just checking that each pixel is receiving photons and turning them into signals? Curious minds want to know.
Then you can do pinhole images before eventually integrating in with the larger assembly.
Utsumi and his team took thousands of images over three months with the LSST Camera sensors of all sorts of shapes and patterns. They then compared the camera's images with the originals to understand how to correct for any distortions or errors. The team has also worked on how to correct other issues, such as the fact that brighter objects appear larger than they actually are, as well as "ghosts," or images of an object that appear because of electronic crosstalk between sensors within the camera.

For the characterization of CCD image sensors, it is the same idea, see for example this company that does CCD testing machine: https://www.ci-systems.com/ccd-testing
For the mirrors, I once visited a lab that does mirrors for astrophysics, and it measure the mirror shape with wave-front instruments (basically it's interferometry, you look at the phase difference of a wave to measure distances).
