The notion that non-technical people should write Cucumber scenarios for later implementation by a programmer needs to die. Only because someone can fall on their keyboard and produce a document that Cucumber considers valid does not mean the result is in any way useful to the process that follows.

Programmers want non-programmers to better appreciate the complexities revealed by the execution of seemingly simple ideas. But creating more artefacts disconnected from the actual implementation is only a rehash of failed techniques from the 90s. Tight integration, not increased division of labor is the way to go.
