Well, there are many reviews of this lens out there, and with pretty mixed conclusions. Especially in the corner performance. The center performance is usually always good.

A test is not always relevant. Some lenses test badly, but are quite good in everyday photography.

Sometimes a personal review is useful and when 98% of the photographers recommend a lens and give an average score of 9.5 for sharpness, it will give some confidence that the lens is OK (64 reviews):

The DA17-70mm and the DA20-40mm Ltd don't have 100% favourable tests, but when you learn how to use them, they can be quite a joy.
