Description
I encountered non-deterministic behavior while running the following tests using NonDex:

Steps to reproduce

Proposed Solution
The test is flaky because the order of the strings generated from ComposedObject instance is not deterministic. To fix this, instead of comparing the strings one by one, we create a set of the returned strings and a set of expected values. Then, we assertEquals two set to make sure the instance generates all the strings expected while not influenced by the non-deterministic order of the returning strings.
