If you don't have a drive that's supported for detailed checking, then you have to use the "Surface test" - many drives can do this in a basic "absolute errors only" manner - though if that shows bad, you have a problem.
The other test is the transfer rate, depending on how badly it backs away from a good maximimum speed CAV/P-CAV ramp, you can judge a burn to be good, average or poor - if it makes a smooth, full speed plot, then there generally isn't much wrong with the burn.
