In this talk we present ways to construct test statistics comparing the weighting times in a given state in two or more multistate systems each of which has the same topology and follows a Markov transition times. The actual transition times are subjected to censoring resulting from a single random inspection time for each individual. Extensive power studies for our tests will be presented. An application to pubertal development data will also be considered.
