The term "distribution-free test" is sometimes used instead of "nonparametric test". This term is often considered better because it more accurately describes the nature of these tests. Nonparametric tests do not assume a specific distribution for the population being studied, hence they are "free" from distribution assumptions. This makes them more flexible and applicable in a wider range of situations compared to parametric tests, which require specific distribution assumptions.
