These examples sound like things that aren’t really DSLs… Or in other words it sounds like someone is trying to make something “simpler than it actually is”.
DSLs are supposed to be for making it easier to perform computation in a specific context. Software tests have about as many degrees of freedom as the programming language they are written in, so I’m not sure they are an ideal use case for a DSL— not without a lot of discipline at least.
For a DSL to make sense, IMHO, you need to be able to write down a complete and correct specification for it. I doubt that is even possible in the given examples :shrug:
