For example, to test the attachment function of an e-mail program, a scenario would describe a situation where a person needs to send an e-mail attachment, and ask him or her to undertake this task.

The " edge of world problem " raises the issue of what to do at the artificial boundary of the physical edge of a board game, in contrast to real life where there is no " edge " and units off-board can have a tangible effect on a scenario.

An analogous scenario also exists in Commonwealth Republics, such as India or Trinidad and Tobago, where there is a President.

The first test scenario used to try out controls and physics involved Mario and a golden rabbit named " MIPS " by the developers ( named for the MIPS-type CPU used by the Nintendo 64 ), the latter of which was included in the final release of the game as a means to obtain two of the Power Stars.

In a scenario like this, urban agriculture seems unlikely to put in practice since it must compete with real estate developers for the access and use of vacant lots.

In this scenario, a compile farm is useful as a tool for developers to build and test their software on a shared server running the target OS and CPU.

While the question of what happened to the humans and where they went to is never fully resolved during the game, David ' Talin ' Joiner, one of the game's key developers, revealed in an interview that humanity was eradicated by an airborne biological weapon ( a scenario that was inspired by the Alistair MacLean novel The Satan Bug ).

In a worst-case scenario, developers may have to discard their changes and completely redo the work.

# Implementation: software can be built one scenario at a time, helping " to keep developers focused " and " producing code that is more generally useful ".

Each mission starts with a jump and the developers wanted to make the experience as nonlinear as possible, with no starting points and as such the scenario unfolding in a different way each time, as opposed to previous World War II FPS games where there is a set starting and end point.

Rather than the simple description of symptoms that many product users or process participants might use, the term failure scenario / mechanism refers to a rather complete description, including the preconditions under which failure occurs, how the thing was being used, proximate and ultimate / final causes ( if known ), and any subsidiary or resulting failures that result.

In this scenario, the problem changes from one of authenticating the user who forgot his password to one of understanding which users should have the ability to vouch for which other users.

In contrast, the scenario where users are supported with a bi-directional communication link with the broadcaster and thus can more easily maintain their state, and where users are not only dynamically revoked but also added ( joined ), is often referred to as multicast encryption.

Each run is configured with a scenario that describes which scripts will run, when they will run, how many virtual users will run, and which load generators will be used for each script.

The tester connects each script in the scenario to the name of a machine that is going to act as a load generator and sets the number of virtual users to be run from that load generator. This is called the working in HP load runner.

This scenario uses an entirely random map, and players are encouraged to try and create a tile layout that plays well.
