Suggested Answer: C

State transition is a technique that analyzes the behavior of an application for different input conditions and how it changes from one state to another in response to events.It is useful for testing scenarios where the date of reservation is a critical factor that affects the system state and output1

Boundary value analysis all the way. It's like playing chicken with the clock - how close can you get to midnight without crashing the system?

Portability? What does that have to do with reservation dates? I think the test manager has been burning the midnight oil a little too much lately.

Orthogonal Arrays? Sounds more like a geometry problem than a test strategy. I'll stick with the obvious choice - Boundary value analysis.

I think Orthogonal Arrays could also be useful in designing more tests for thorough coverage.

State transition makes sense too, especially for testing the reservation process as the date changes over.

Boundary value analysis seems like the way to go here. Focusing on the edge cases around midnight will really help uncover any potential issues.

I agree with Marta, Boundary value analysis will help cover the risks associated with date of reservation.

I think we should use Boundary value analysis to design more tests.
