Analyzing the reliability of the aging class of life distribution provides important information about how long a product lasts and sustainability measures that are essential for determining the environmental impact and formulating resource-saving plans. The study emphasizes the goodness-of-fit technique of the nonparametric test for the NBRUmgf class because age data are crucial for applications. Evaluations were conducted using the test’s asymptotic properties and Pitman efficiency methodology for some selected asymmetric probability models, and the outcomes were compared with those of alternative methods. We assessed the test’s power against widely used reliability distributions for some well-known alternative asymmetric distributions, including the Weibull, Gamma, and linear failure rate (LFR) distributions, and provided percentiles for both censored and uncensored data. This study shows the efficacy of the test in various sectors using real-world datasets and comprehensive tables of test statistics.
