System, method, and non-transitory medium for ranking similar runs of test scenarios based on unessential test steps in the runs. Runs of test scenarios run by users on software systems that belong to different organizations are clustered to clusters of similar runs. Analysis of a certain selected cluster identifies occurrences of potentially unessential test steps in the similar runs belonging to the cluster. By counting, for each potentially unessential test step, the number of different users that ran a test scenario that includes the potentially unessential test step, it is possible to label certain test steps as verified unessential test steps. A potentially unessential test step may be labeled a verified unessential test step when its corresponding number of different users is below a predetermined threshold. A ranking module utilizes the number of occurrences of verified unessential test steps in runs in order to rank the runs.
