The post condition not being defined is a real head-scratcher. It's like they want us to just wing it during the testing. Good luck with that!

Acceptance criteria? What is this, a school project? Real-world ATMs don't have time for that nonsense!

Ha! Leave it to the business folks to forget the priorities. Without that, how are we supposed to know what's really important to test?

Hmm, I'd say the missing alternative flows are the bigger issue. Those edge cases can really trip up users and need to be accounted for.

I would also consider C) Post condition not defined as important. It's crucial to know the expected outcome of the use case.

I agree with Katlyn. Without clear acceptance criteria, it's hard to know what to test for.

I think the most important comment would be that the post condition is not defined. Without a clear definition of the expected outcome, it will be difficult to design effective usability tests.
