Why do test suites with the same coverage level have different numbers of steps?
This is due to a couple of factors. First, Tester employs a random number generator to select some inputs. Also, Tester includes a “pruning” phase during which test steps that do not improve coverage are eliminated. So even though two different test suites may achieve the same level of coverage, they could be quite different.
