[ShenyiCui]

Expected Behaviour

• I should be allowed to choose to stay only for the day in the hotel
• Many hotels allow this and its not stated in your UG why I'm not allowed to stay for a single day in a hotel

Current Behaviour

• Staying from 28-02-22 to 28-02-22 is not allowed

How to reproduce

• add n/r p/123 e/1@test.com rm/0-00 dr/28/02/22 - 28/02/22 ng/2 rq/test

Team's Response

We believe that your example is not representative of a one-day stay as in a hotel, the check-in time of a guest is typically after their check-out time. Hence, for a one-day stay, the date range should be 27-02-22 to 28-02-22. For example, this is taken from one of the hotels that are included in our target users.

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

• [x] I disagree

Reason for disagreement: >>> the check-in time of a guest is typically after their check-out time

• The dev team's response would be valid IF they allowed time as part of their date input.
• However, the team only inputs dates and doesn't allow time input.
• It is possible for guests to want to check in at 02-22-2022 1000 and check out at 02-22-2022 2200.
• Because the input of 02-22-2022 and check out at 02-22-2022 isn't allowed, and since this is a valid use case, it is therefore a bug.

:question: Issue severity

Team chose [severity.Low] Originally [severity.Medium]

• [x] I disagree

Reason for disagreement: Recall the definition of a medium severity:

A flaw that causes occasional inconvenience to some users but they can continue to use the product.

• It does cause occasional inconvenience to users who want to stay in a hotel for less than a day. (quite a common occurrence for motels)

Recall the definition of a low severity:

A flaw that is unlikely to affect normal operations of the product. Appears only in very rare situations and causes a minor inconvenience only.

• It's definitely not unlikely, and the inconvenience caused is more than minor as it means data cannot be recorded for some guests accurately.
