I am a proponent of Behavior Driven Development, mainly with Cucumber and RSpec, and at my current gig (a Microsoft shop) I am introducing SpecFlow as a tool to help with testing.I'd like to get the business analysts on my team involved in writing the features and scenarios, but they are put off by the technical aspect of it, meaning creating the files in Visual Studio (or even having Visual Studio on their machines). They want to know if we can put all the scenarios for a feature in Jira.What I'm looking for is suggestions for a workflow that will work well with BA types that are accustomed to project management/work tracking tools like Jira (we also use Greenhopper).
How can I get the business analysts more involved in BDD?

What I ended up doing is installing Visual Studio 2010 Express on their machines and setting up the SpecFlow templates. I showed them how to add a .feature file. We discussed how the features and scenarios should be written and off they went.I also showed them how to do the basic commits and pushes with TortoiseGit.
