A tracetester helper module + the two test module renames sounds like
a fine idea to me (your proposed new names should be clearer than the
existing *hooks naming, given the existence of "profile" and "trace"
modules).

You may want to do a grep for references to the existing test files in
comments in the rest of the test suite though.

Cheers,
Nick.
