Both the Spearman's rank test and the t test of a correlation coefficient are used to test the relationship between two variables, and both assume that the data is continuous and the relationship is monotonic rather than linear. However, the t test assumes that the data is normally distributed while the Spearman's rank test does not make this assumption.
