Question 3

An autonomous drone telemetry system validates a telemetry broadcast key using the following algorithm:

variable.length returns the number of characters in variable.

    isValid = false

    while (isValid == false)

        broadcastKey = input("Enter the broadcast key: ")

        if (broadcastKey.length >= 6) AND (broadcastKey.length <= 11)

            isValid = true

            print("Telemetry stream connected")

        else

            print("Connection rejected, invalid key length")

        endif

    endwhile

The algorithm needs testing to ensure the validation block (if-else statement) works correctly.

Identify two different pieces of test data that can be used to test different outputs of the algorithm. Give the expected output from the program for each piece of test data.
