I don't think you need long analysis for this. Basically, if the eval drops
significantly even after short analysis (10-15 seconds per move) you can be sure
something happened either the last move or a few moves ago (maybe it only saw
the problem a few moves after the blunder). When you see this sudden change, you
can use your own judgement, with the help of an engine, to see what happened.
You could then determine what the best move should have been, and whether it
constitutes a good test move.
