ISTQB Exam CTAL-TTA Topic 6 Question 14 Discussion
Topic #: 6
When conducting a data flow analysis of following section of pseudo code:
Declare Function_Biggest integer (inputl integer. Input2 Integer) }
Declare output Integer
Set output = inputl
If input2 > output then
Set output = input2
Endif
Return output
}
Which of the variables utilized above has a potential anomalie?
In the data flow analysis of the pseudocode, the variable output presents a potential anomaly. Initially, output is set to input1, but it may be overwritten if input2 is greater. The anomaly, specifically a 'definition-use' (du-path) issue, arises because there might be scenarios where output does not adequately reflect changes depending on the dynamic data flow influenced by the conditional. Proper testing and validation of such conditional structures are crucial to ensure that output consistently represents the largest of the two inputs as intended.
