Thanks for the hint about Knuth's literate programming! I hadn't heard about it before but it immediately looks great. (For those of us who hadn't heard about it before either, here is a link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate_programming)

About your other point: I have experienced exactly the same. It just seems impossible to instill the belief into most developers that readable tests lead to faster solving of bugs. And by the way, it makes tests more maintainable as well, just like readable code makes the code more maintainable anywhere else.
