A story is first and foremost a tool for planning. It represents a
piece of valuable functionality and a future conversation about
fleshing out the details.
When they have moved through the Scrum/XP/Kanban board from the
backlog to done done done, they are thrown away. At this time
they have transmogrified into a running, tested feature - (or rather
added to new or existing features).
Software consists of (hopefully valuable) features - not stories.
Stories are just temporary artifacts that feed the augmentation of
features
in the software.
Let's say you have a backlog of 10 stories. Stuff people want to do.
When the stories are implemented, what you have is perhaps 4 features,
which have increased in scope over time. The features stick (in the
code and in the Cucumber feature files). The stories are forgotten and
that's ok.
I hope this clarifies a bit what I mean.
