VerifyTestAssumptions
is an option to LocationTest and similar functions that controls which assumptions to verify through diagnostic tests.
Details

- The following settings can be used:
-
All verify all assumptions Automatic automatically select which assumptions to verify None do not verify assumptions "name" verify the named assumption "name" {"name1","name2",…} verify several assumptions - The specific list of assumptions that can be verified through diagnostic tests is given for each hypothesis testing function.
Examples
Basic Examples (3)
Control diagnostics as a group using All and None:
The -value is equivalent but a warning is issued:

Set diagnostics independently:
Testing for normality results in a warning being issued:

Normality is assumed but a test for equal variances chooses a different form of the -test:
