Description
User Story Testing provides positive confirmation feedback, making it the perfect complement to standard exploratory bug reports. User Stories are properties of Features, and each may be executed a maximum of three times.
Benefits
User Story Testing leverages the low maintenance and crowd-creativity of guided exploratory testing, as well as the positive validation and confidence that comes with test cases.

Best Practices When Writing User Stories
Use goal-oriented language, not step-oriented.
Write from a user perspective.
Define one objective Pass/Fail criteria per User Story.
User Story scope is small enough that it can be executed in a few minutes or less.
Always include expected behavior language in the Feature description in addition to the User Stories.
Optimal Use Cases
Exploratory testing results have been valuable, but you would like positive validation feedback on a subset of the functionality.
Scheduled Test results are consistently yielding little to no bugs.
Likelihood of finding bugs is low due to mature product or small-scope tests.
