NAME

CSAF::Validator::OptionalTests

SYNOPSIS

    use CSAF::Validator::OptionalTests;
    my $v = CSAF::Validator::OptionalTests->new( csaf => $csaf );
    $v->exec_test('6.2.2');
    $v->TEST_6_2_2;

DESCRIPTION

Optional tests SHOULD NOT fail at a valid CSAF document without a good reason. Failing such a test does not make the CSAF document invalid. These tests may include information about features which are still supported but expected to be deprecated in a future version of CSAF.
