```yml
tests:
  - text: All tests should pass
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=1').then(data => { assert.equal(data.state,'passed'); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
  - text: You should test for 'res.status' == 200
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=1').then(data => { assert.equal(data.assertions[0].method, 'equal'); assert.equal(data.assertions[0].args[0], 'res.status'); assert.equal(data.assertions[0].args[1], '200');}, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
  - text: You should test for 'res.text' == 'hello Guest'
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=1').then(data => { assert.equal(data.assertions[1].method, 'equal'); assert.equal(data.assertions[1].args[0], 'res.text'); assert.match(data.assertions[1].args[1], /hello [\w\d_-]/);}, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
