Requirements Based Testing

One or more test cases could be designed for every requirement
A combination of risk- and requirements-based testing could have some advantages:

- Revealing missing requirements
- Focus on the most important part of the system
- Better communication with users and stakeholders
- Easier negotiation and prioritization
