User:DWalden (WMF)/SimilarEditors

Testing done

 * High volume automation
 * The test data has a relatively small number of usernames/IPs it knows about (we can extract them with this script)
 * We can submit to Special:SimilarEditors via a Pywikibot script with this script
 * We can extract data from the Similarusers service (with this script) and from the MediaWiki debug logs (with this script)
 * This data can be merged together for easier analysis (with this script)
 * Examples of using this technique:
 * T309235

Testing not done

 * Accuracy of Similarusers service
 * We don't have something that is functionally equivalent to do a direct comparison against
 * The test data is incomplete and not internally consistent, so cannot use consistency oracles
