Abstract: In this note we develop a family of test statistics for testing exponentiality against NBUE alternatives. The asymptotic distribution of the test statistics is derived. The test statistics are shown to be asymptotically normal and consistent. This family of test statistics includes the test proposed by Hollander and Proschan (1975) as a special case. Efficiency studies have also been done.
