Who is the Choosing a Test poster for?

When should you use the Choosing a Test poster?
Three questions: what are you testing, what design, and what level of measurement. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Choosing a Test belongs on the wall where that life science work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
