When it comes to conformance testing, it takes more than just binary pass or fail baseline tests to provide reports that encourage the strongest possible implementation of a standard. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) uses the keywords “MUST” and “MUST NOT”, as defined in RFC 2119, to mandate specific behaviors across their standards. Neglecting to adhere to these requirements will result in failed compliance tests. However, defining "correct" behavior is not always black and white. To address...
