n Mary, taking her two daughters to the day care center on the way to work, drives up to the ATM, runs her card across the card reader, enters her PIN code, selects FAST CASH, and enters $35 as the amount. The ATM issues a $20 and three $5 bills, plus a receipt showing her account balance after the $35 is debited. The ATM resets its screens after each transaction with FAST CASH, so Mary can drive away and not worry that the next driver will have access to her account. Mary likes FAST CASH because it avoids the many questions that slow down the interaction. She comes to this particular ATM because it issues $5 bills, which she uses to pay the day care provider, and she doesn’t have to get out of her car to use it.

This is actually called a “Usage Narrative”, which is a particular instance of a use case. These are also called Scenarios, Scenario instances, Concrete scenarios, and the like. These are very useful for a starting point and for developing test cases…
