Description
It would be useful to have ipptool support iteration over a series of supported values reported by the printer, e.g.:
EXPECT foo-supported OF-TYPE keyword TEST-VALUES variable "testfile"
or something like that, where ipptool would define the specified variable and then include the specified test file to perform additional tests.
Since we'd likely want to implement a test matrix from multiple attributes, the syntax should probably be something like:
EXPECT foo-supported OF-TYPE keyword TEST-VALUES foo-variable
EXPECT bar-supported OF-TYPE resolution TEST-VALUES bar-variable
TEST-SCRIPT "filename.test"

Research direction
Start with ipptool's handling of EXPECT and TEST-SCRIPT commands, using the proposed foo-supported and bar-supported examples as the behavioral outline. Define the iteration and variable-substitution requirements for included test files, including the multi-attribute test matrix, and consider the issue complete when the syntax and resulting behavior are specified and implemented.
