1. A method for performing a pressure test comprising:
inserting a formation testing tool into a wellbore to a first location within the wellbore based at least in part on a figure of merit, wherein the formation testing tool comprises:
at least one probe;
a pump disposed within the formation testing tool and connected to the at least one probe by at least one probe channel and at least one fluid passageway; and
at least one stabilizer disposed on the formation testing tool;
activating the at least one stabilizer, wherein the at least one stabilizer is activated into a surface of the wellbore;
forming the figure of merit from a forward model, wherein the forward model is iteratively refined using at least one pressure test; and
performing the pressure test and determining at least one formation parameter from the pressure test.
