We consider goodness-of-fit testing for multivariate stable distributions. The proposed
test statistics exploit a characterizing property of the characteristic function of these
distributions and are consistent under some conditions. The asymptotic distribution is
derived under the null hypothesis as well as under local alternatives. Conditions for an
asymptotic null distribution free of parameters and for affine invariance are provided.
Computational issues are discussed in detail and simulations show that with proper choice
of the user parameters involved, the new tests lead to powerful omnibus procedures for
the problem at hand
