BS2 and Stepper RPM program

I have several small stepper motors that I need a bit of assistance with. I have not yet written the code for the stepper motors to run, but I am wondering if there is something I can input in the program that will debug the RPM's for me?

    Steppers usually are rated at X degrees per step so if you keep track of the number of steps times x divided by 360 per minute you will have rpm

    OK. So what about doing the same thing for DC motors if I do not have the specs?
