This is actually one of the reasons I dislike cucumber so much. They try so hard to make it read like English for non-tech people but to really understand it you need to understand the underlying regex being used.

Hello! I'm Elise, the author of the post. Figured I'd jump in and say that in addition to Ruby, I really like Cucumber. But I think the non-technical people focus really cuts a lot out. For me, Cucumber gives the whole team(tech and non-tech) a shared language for what the software does.

I don't use it much anymore, because most companies seem to have moved away from it. But, I do miss it and wish we had something similar that could encouraged that level of shared understanding.
