 Depending on your testing objective, some sequencers may produce better or more desirable test cases from your model than others. You should experiment with these sequencers for each model to determine which sequencer meets your needs better. Depending on your testing objective, some sequencers may produce better or more desirable test cases from your model than others.

 Different sequencer produces test sequence or test cases resulting in different effects on test coverage.  You should evaluate them and determine which sequencer is a better choice for each model and test objective.  Keep in mind that you may change the sequencer anytime. Different sequencer produces test sequence or test cases resulting in different effects on test coverage.  You should evaluate them and determine which sequencer is a better choice for each model and test objective.  Keep in mind that you may change the sequencer anytime.
