Statastizard(c)2012 Nick Emblow is a program designed to guide its user into the right statistical test, perform the test, and report the results in a meaningful way. The idea of this is that the user won't actually need to know that they are using a mann-whitney U over a t-test, for example - it just tests for normality and homoscedastic of variance, and decides which test to use, then reports the results. Why? Because time after time, people come to me with some test that they've done that they think "proves" something - when in reality they've either not done a comparative test to start with (ex. a correlation), failed to test for confounding factors (such as normality etc) and as a result, failed to appropriately identify even the right test to do.
