1. A method for performing a pressure test comprising:
inserting a downhole tool into a wellbore to a first location within the wellbore based at least in part on a figure of merit, wherein the downhole tool includes:
at least one probe;
a pump disposed within the downhole tool and connect 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 downhole tool;
activating the at least one stabilizer, wherein the at least one stabilizer is activated into a surface of the wellbore; and
performing the pressure test within the wellbore; and
determining at least one formation property from the pressure test with an information handling system that is in communication with the downhole tool.
