On March 28th, Boeing simulated the most extreme circumstances that the 787 could possibly encounter on its static test airframe. This involved flexing the wings upward by about 25 ft. and pressurizing the fuselage up to 150% of normal. After a couple weeks of extensive analysis of the raw data collected, Boeing has concluded that all the requirements of the test have been met, and that the design of the 787's revolutionary airframe has been validated. You can view a pretty cool video of the static test at the link below:
