Abstract: Testing of various classes of life distributions has been a subject of investigation for more than four decades. In this study we restrict ourselves to the problem of testing exponentiality against non-monotonic aging notions. We model non-monotonic aging using the notions of bathtub failure rate, increasing and then decreasing mean residual life and new worse then better than used in expectation classes. The different tests of exponentiality against these alternatives are discussed in detail. Copyright Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014
