Extreme Programming

[thelusiv]

The term I've heard a lot for "user stories" is use cases. The idea, for those not familiar, is to collect a list of all the possible ways a user might want to use the program, and the constraints placed on the usage, etc. This provides a concrete set of tests which can be verified and run to establish how well the program is working.

For us it'd probably be a good idea to divide our use cases up into categories, since we have several different modes in which the game is used. For instance, we could have categories for menus, practice games, single races, career mode, replays, network games, etc.
