Description

In amplification of DTTestCoverageTest asserting the value of startButtonHelp increases the coverage. It's generated after a. direct method added by input amplification:

        aString := plugin startButtonHelp.
	self assert: aString equals: 'Run test coverage in selected packages'

I expect the assertion for asserting the value of startButtonHelp be created in assertion amplification, not after a direct input amp.

Research direction

Start by locating the amplification logic exercised for DTTestCoverageTest and trace how startButtonHelp is introduced and asserted. Compare assertion amplification with direct input amplification, then verify that the startButtonHelp assertion is generated by the former rather than appearing after the latter. Done means the amplified output places this assertion in assertion amplification.
