Abstract: This paper presents tests of exponentiality against HNBUE alternatives. The new class of test statistics is based on the difference between the integrated distribution function and its empirical counterpart. As special cases, the class includes the asymptotically most powerful test for exponentiality against the Makeham alternative and the first nonzero component of Neyman's smooth test of fit for the exponential distribution.
