If the distributional assumptions of the parametric test have been violated and the test is not robust to these violations, a parametric test should not be used. This is because the results of the test may be inaccurate or misleading in such situations. In other words, the use of a parametric test in such situations may lead to Type I or Type II errors. Therefore, it is important to assess the distributional assumptions of a parametric test and choose an appropriate test accordingly.
