Fair enough.
The reason I couldn't make it work with "frequency" is that, as Otto
indicated, the second is not a unit of measurement for a frequency.
"tests / second" would be an appropriate unit for a frequency, but that
is _not_ what we are specifying when using "every". Rather, we are
specifying a "period" - the interval between occurrences of tests.
I'm not trying to complicate this, just trying to explain why "frequency"
is an incorrect term.
Having stated my case, I'm happy to leave the wording to others (if that's
what's preferred).
Thanks,
Ross
