SIMILARITY SCORES ARE NOT ENOUGH FOR MATCHING

Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter

Tusk found traditional similarity scoring insufficient for accurate matching in Tusk Drift, a CLI tool for test generation and matching. Instead, its team developed a system based on a prioritized cascade of constraints to eliminate obviously incorrect matches first. Similarity scoring is then only used as a tiebreaker for the small percentage of requests that pass initial constraint.
