    Data flow testing focuses on how data variables and values are used in software code. It aims to identify coding errors related to improper use of data, such as variables not being initialized before use. Data flow anomalies can be identified through static or white box testing and involve analyzing the define, kill, and use sequences of variables. Common anomalies include variables being used without being defined or defined values not being referenced. Identifying and resolving such anomalies helps improve software quality.

    DATA FLOW ANOMALY & Example


    Data Flow testing

    Data Flow testing is one of the testing


    strategies, which focuses on the data variables
    and their values, used in the programming
    logic of the software product, by making use of
    the control flow graph.
    Data Flow testing
    The basic idea behind this form of testing, is to reveal the
    coding errors and mistakes, which may results in to improper
    implementation and usage of the data variables or data
    values in the programming code i.e. data anomalies, such as
     All the data variables, present in the programming code
    have been initialized or not,
     Data variables which are put into use, have been, priorly
    initialized or not,
     If the initialized data variables, has been used, at least
    once, in the programming code.

    Anomalies

     Data Flow Anomalies are identified while performing while


    box testing or Static Testing. Data flow anomalies are
    represented using two characters based on the sequence
    of actions. They are defined (d), killed (k), and used (u).
    There are nine possible combinations based on these 3
    sequence of actions which are dd, dk, du, kd, kk, ku, ud,
    uk, uu. The below table clearly shows which one of these
    combinations are accepted and which one of these are
    suspected to be an anomaly.
    Anomalies Example

     Components of the state-transition diagrams


     The states
    U: Undefined
    D: Defined but not referenced
    R: Defined and referenced
    A: Abnormal
     The actions
    d: define the variable
    r: reference (or, read) the variable
    u: undefine the variable
