The other important thing to check is some -f cases. Doubly so for this
release, where we have a major change in the methodlogy for -f support on
modern Linux kernels. The trivial thing I always test is:
strace -f /usr/bin/time /bin/true
which just makes sure that a basic fork+exec gets tracked.
It's important to test some multithreaded case too, but I don't
have a simple suggestion for that off hand.
Thanks,
Roland
