Question

Requirements-based testing involves examining each requirement and developing a test or tests for it. Here are two system requirements of the Mentcare system related to testing for allergies:

1) If a patient is known to be allergic to any particular medication, then prescription of that medication shall result in a warning message being issued to the system user.
