The measurement would be done by sampling the radius of curvature of a handful of symmetrical zones along one axis. Its all idealised to some extent and genuine Strehl ratios can never be gleaned from measuring one axis- but if the mirror is better than 1/10 wave across the whole surface area then it will perform brilliantly .
