The Same-Same-Different Test (SSD)
The purpose of the Same-Same-Same test (SSS) and the Same-Same-Different test (SSD) IDEAScripts are to identify abnormal duplications as potential indicators of errors or fraud.
This script was originally writting using the Duplicate - Exclude function in IDEA but it turns out that there is a bug in version 7 and 8 of IDEA in which this function does not capture duplicate entries, it would only capture the first entry.

September 2015 - Rewrote the interface.
