I'm mainly concerned about the fact that if it mostly reports false
positives, people will just ignore it, and it will be a missed
opportunity. That's why I'd like it to be confirmed that the rate of
false positives is more like 5% or 10% than like 90% or 95%, before a
link is added on the PTS. In my experience, it was more like 95%,
especially for upgrade tests.
