We propose a new L^2-type goodness-of-fit test for the family of beta distributions based on a conditional moment characterisation. The asymptotic null distribution is identified, and since it depends on the underlying parameters, a parametric bootstrap procedure is proposed. Consistency against all alternatives that satisfy a convergence criterion is shown, and a Monte Carlo simulation study indicates that the new procedure outperforms most of the classical tests. Finally, the procedure is applied to a real data set related to air humidity.
