-The obvious advantage of //Optimal// sequencer is that it generates the least number of steps to cover every transitions in the model.  As the result, this sequencer would work better for larger models or if you just want to run all test cases in the least amount of time.+The obvious advantage of //Optimal// sequencer is that it generates the least number of steps to cover all transitions in the model.  As the result, this sequencer would work better for larger models or if you just want to run all test cases in the least amount of time.
  
 The side effect is that the test cases generated by //Optimal// sequencer tends to be longer and fewer test cases with the minimal total number of test steps.  This can be viewed as either an advantage or disadvantage depending on your specific use case. The side effect is that the test cases generated by //Optimal// sequencer tends to be longer and fewer test cases with the minimal total number of test steps.  This can be viewed as either an advantage or disadvantage depending on your specific use case.
