A formation testing method can include interconnecting multiple pressure sensors and multiple perforating guns in a perforating string, the pressure sensors being longitudinally spaced apart along the perforating string, firing the perforating guns and the pressure sensors measuring pressure variations in a wellbore after firing the perforating guns. Another formation testing method can include interconnecting multiple pressure sensors and multiple perforating guns in a perforating string, firing the perforating guns, thereby perforating a wellbore at multiple formation intervals, each of the pressure sensors being positioned proximate a corresponding one of the formation intervals, and each pressure sensor measuring pressure variations in the wellbore proximate the corresponding interval after firing the perforating guns.

1. A method of determining characteristics of a subterranean well, the method comprising: forming a perforating string by interconnecting multiple perforating guns and multiple non-perforating tubular string sections, wherein each of the multiple non-perforating tubular string sections includes a pressure sensor and an accelerometer;positioning the perforating string in a wellbore;firing the perforating guns; andcollecting data above, between and below the perforating guns via the non-perforating tubular string sections before, during and after the firing. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising multiple temperature sensors longitudinally spaced apart along the perforating string, and wherein the temperature sensors measure temperature variations in the wellbore prior to the firing the perforating guns. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising multiple temperature sensors longitudinally spaced apart along the perforating string, and wherein the temperature sensors measure temperature variations in the wellbore after the firing the perforating guns. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the pressure sensors measures a pressure increase in the wellbore, the pressure increase resulting from the firing the perforating guns. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the pressure sensors measures a pressure decrease in the wellbore subsequent to the firing the perforating guns. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein at least one of the pressure sensors measures a pressure increase in the wellbore when formation fluid enters the wellbore. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the perforating guns is interconnected between two of the non-perforating tubular string sections. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the non-perforating tubular sections is interconnected between two of the perforating guns. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein firing the perforating guns comprises perforating the wellbore at multiple formation intervals, and wherein at least one of the non-perforating tubular string sections is positioned proximate a corresponding one of the formation intervals. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein each of the formation intervals is positioned between two of the non-perforating tubular string sections. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein a detonation train extends through the at least one of the non-perforating tubular string sections. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the pressure sensors sense pressure in an annulus formed radially between the perforating string and the wellbore. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein increased recording of pressure measurements is initiated in response to sensing a predetermined event. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein the non-perforating tubular string sections are positioned on a same side of a firing head as the perforating guns. 15. A formation testing method, comprising: forming a perforating string by interconnecting multiple perforating guns and multiple non-perforating tubular string sections, wherein at least one non-perforating tubular string section is positioned below the perforating guns in the perforating string, wherein at least one non-perforating tubular string section is positioned between each adjacent pair of perforating guns in the perforating string, wherein at least one non-perforating tubular string section is positioned above the perforating guns in the perforating string, and wherein each of the multiple non-perforating tubular string sections includes a pressure sensor and an accelerometer;positioning the perforating string in a wellbore;firing the perforating guns, thereby forming multiple longitudinally spaced apart perforations in the wellbore corresponding to each of the multiple perforating guns; andmeasuring pressure and acceleration above, between and below the perforations via the non-perforating tubular string sections during and after the firing. 16. The method of claim 15, further comprising multiple temperature sensors longitudinally spaced apart along the perforating string, and wherein the temperature sensors measure temperature variations in the wellbore prior to the firing the perforating guns. 17. The method of claim 15, further comprising multiple temperature sensors longitudinally spaced apart along the perforating string, and wherein the temperature sensors measure temperature variations in the wellbore after the firing the perforating guns. 18. The method of claim 15, wherein at least one of the pressure sensors measures a pressure increase in the wellbore, the pressure increase resulting from the firing the perforating guns. 19. The method of claim 15, wherein at least one of the pressure sensors measures a pressure decrease in the wellbore subsequent to firing the perforating guns. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein at least one of the pressure sensors measures a pressure increase in the wellbore when formation fluid enters the wellbore. 21. The method of claim 15, wherein an increased recording of pressure and acceleration measurements is initiated in response to sensing a predetermined event. 22. The method of claim 15, wherein a detonation train extends through at least one of the non-perforating tubular string sections. 23. The method of claim 15, wherein the pressure sensors sense pressure in an annulus formed radially between the perforating string and the wellbore. 24. The method of claim 15, wherein the non-perforating tubular string sections are positioned on a same side of a firing head as the perforating guns.
