Test Case
Patient with no known allergies is prescribed a drug
Patient with a known allergy is prescribed the drug they are allergic to

Correct Answer
(1) Patient with no known allergies is prescribed a drug,No warning is issued when no allergy exists
(2) Patient with a known allergy is prescribed the drug they are allergic to,Warning is issued when the allergic drug is prescribed
(3) Patient allergic to two drugs is prescribed both drugs separately,Correct warning issued for each drug separately
(4) Prescriber ignores allergy warning and overrules it,System requires the prescriber to provide a reason
Explanation
Requirements-based testing requires multiple tests per requirement to cover all scenarios: testing no-allergy cases (normal path), single allergy cases (warning triggered), multiple allergy cases (multiple warnings), and the override case (reason required). Each test case validates a distinct behavioral aspect of the requirements.
