Often just having a test that ensure a command doesn't segfault is
progress :-) The shell tests Andi mentions are here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools-next.git/tree/tools/perf/tests/shell?h=perf-tools-next
There's no explicit `perf report` test there but maybe the annotate,
diff or record tests could give you some ideas.

Thanks,
