Is it based on analysis of games?
I am interested more in detecting blunders in comp-comp games and not in test
suites when the target is to find sacrifices.

tactics is not only sacrifices.

I think that it may be interesting to give engine the games of premier division
WBEC(40/40 time control) and to run engines on the games when the target is to
find blunders.

You can use Fritz with every engine by tools->analysis->blunder check
You can decide about constant time and constant margin.

Later you can have list of positions when at least one of the top programs
detected blunders and these positions are candidate positions and if all top
program still consider the move as blunder after more time  and the evaluation
is not clearly winning for the same side before the blunder and after the
blunder you can decide that these blunders were correctly detected as blunders(I
do not detect a move as a blunder in case that the evaluation was changed from
+10 pawns to +20 pawns for the same side).
