We want to reduce cucumber's signal to noise ratio--currently errors are hidden within pages and pages of success.
You don't care in detail about what has passed, simply that stories ran and passed. What you care about is which scenarios no longer work, have broken, need updating or aren't yet complete.

The core purpose of a website is to help your customers answer the questions necessary to do business with you.
If your website is a series of answers to questions then the success of your site depends on what questions you answer--it's the questions and answers that show the customer you provide a service they're looking for, you're a good choice and that they should buy from you.
In general every customer has the following questions:
| # Downloads all the photos from a flickr set | |
| require 'open-uri' | |
| require 'rubygems' | |
| require 'flickr-rest' # benschwarz-flickr-rest | |
| Flickr::Query::API_KEY = 'your key, yo.' | |
| Flickr::Query.new('57794886@N00'). |
