This would be a lot easier to answer if you told us what you are testing *for*.
The answers for "detecting buggy userspace", "determining API design
correctness", "determining correct kernel implementation", and "testing kernel
and API resilience to intentional misuse/misconfiguration" are all very
different...

Phrased differently:  What information do you want to have after the test
is complete, and what will you use it for? (I've seen more than once, somebody
will post "We've been doing testing for 3 weeks, and can't seem to get XYZ to
work", and the answer is "Don't bother trying, XYZ is Known Broken")
