It's a bit more than that... Visual of the discs and pads, failure for discs badly worn (although TBF they have to be REALLY bad!) or pads < 1.5mm thick, check on the brake machine for efficiency and balance across axles, then a run down check on the machine for brakes dragging, and also a check of the brake effort to pick up any fluctuations suggestive of vibration / run out.
