Fantastic idea. I see humans.txt (http://humanstxt.org/ http://humanstxt.org/) was an influence. Why not stay in a concise format like that?

  I've not been able to figure out an alternative to cucumber that has the same flexibility and readability. For example, I've not a clue yet on how to improve on this example: Feature: DuckDuckGo Search It should continue to kick ass And I should be able to search Scenario: Homepage performance When I go to http://www.duckduckgo.com Then I should see the page downloaded in less than 0.5 seconds And I should see the page assets downloaded in less than 2 seconds Scenario: Search over SSL Given I go to https://www.duckduckgo.com When I fill in "q" with "site:news.ycombinator.com" And I press submit Then I should be on https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Anews.ycombinator.com And I should see "Hacker News" within "h2"

    The problem is that this looks tempting, but what if I change: Then I should see the page downloaded in less than 0.5 seconds to Then I want the page to download in under a second. The natural English looks very tempting, but the actual terms you can use are very restrictive.

      Thinking monitors.txt would need a validator, plus the monitoring providers can alert customers when they've entered something invalid.
