G/W/T is great at capturing the context/action/outcome of a test scenario in English. It isn’t great for all cases though. Furthermore Gherkin could be updated to allow more flexibility. Having structured format for tests/requirements, in English (et. al.), can be incredibly helpful. I would love to see some innovation around helping programmers and non-programmers reach a shared understanding of what the system should do and the cases we will use to verify it. I don’t think unstructured conversation, unstructured English, or Excel tables are the solution. This is still an unsolved problem in our industry.
