APA seems to prefer "t test" when on its own, but "t-test" when used as a
compound adjective preceding the term it qualifies:
https://apastyle.apa.org/learn/faqs/when-use-hyphen

On the other hand, Wikipedia seems to consistently use "t-test",
"t-distribution" and "t-value" with few exceptions.

If we go by popularity, the hyphenated version is a clear winner in the
English-speaking world:
https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=t+test%2Ct-test%2CT+test%2C+T-test&year_start=1900&year_end=2019&corpus=en-2019&smoothing=3
(same goes on NGrams for Spanish, French, German)

In any case, I think it should _not_ be capitalised like it currently is in the
UI.

I would suggest using "t-test" in the UI to match the documentation and what's
currently more popular.
