Assume you are currently working on a project developing a system where functional requirements are very well specified. Unfortunately, non-functional requirements do almost not exist. You are the Test Manager. You have to choose a technique for test selection that allows testing of non-functional characteristics, especially reliability. Which of the following techniques for test selection do you expect being most useful in this scenario?
A) A model-based technique based on the creation of operational profiles
B) Ambiguity reviews
C) Test condition analysis
D) Cause-effect graphing

A model-based technique based on the creation of operational profiles would be the most useful in this scenario as it would allow for the testing of non-functional characteristics such as reliability. Operational profiles are created to understand the usage patterns of the system, which can be used to design real-world test scenarios that reflect the actual usage of the system in the field. This technique would be especially useful in the absence of non-functional requirements, as it could help to identify areas where the system might be unreliable and prioritize those areas for testing.
