Stack/Resource testing tools?

I am looking for an alternative to inspec-aws. It is a great tool but has poor coverage of resources and doesn't look like it will ever catch up. Are there any similar alternatives? I have seen Taskcat but it is not quite the same and not what I am looking for. I am looking for something that can test for existence/configuration of existing resources no matter how they were created.
