You can also create tests by clicking on the + icon button which appears in several places :

  • Cells in the summary statistics tables (found on the Run Detail page, Compare pages)

  • Mini charts (clicking on the title and the column feature button, found on Run Detail page)

  • Above statistics found on Compare pages

At each of these locations, a test creation drawer will open on the right side of the page with several of the fields pre-populated based on the context of the button.

Example of the Summary Statistics Table

Example of the Mini Charts

Example on the Compare Page

Here, each entry in the summary statistics table (on the Run Detail page) can be used to seed creation of a test for that chosen statistic.
If an interesting statistical property is present for a given distribution, you may be alerted to that fact above the mini charts on the Run Detail page.
Expanding out this alert will generate a possible test of interest which can then be edited and saved at the test creation drawer.
When two distributions are being studied at the compare page, a suggested nonparametric statistic will be presented to guide potential test creation for asserting consistency of that distribution between runs.
