How do you decide whether a colourless liquid is pure water by boiling?

By boiling the substance, you can compare the actual boiling point of water in given conditions to that of the sample.
However, analogues can be made which will have an identical boiling point, yet contain little or no water at all. Hence, boiling alone cannot ascertain what something is. This holds for all physical tests - you must use chemical tests as well to determine exactly what composes a sample.
