The name "Truth Tables" in already firmly established in logic to refer to enumerations of all combinations of boolean inputs and outputs.

I think a better name for these testing constructs would be Expectation Tables.

Naming is hard! Thanks for suggesting "Expectation Tables".
True, naming is hard.

But coming from an EE/CE digital logic background, if it doesn't have 1's and 0's (or T's and F's) in it, it just ain't a Truth Table to me.

Of course I could just as easily be criticized for "Expectation Tables" by someone in obstetrics, so what's fair is fair.

I do like your design. Nice job.
