In this article, we propose tests for covariance matrices of high dimension with fewer observations than the dimension for a general class of distributions with positive definite covariance matrices. In the one-sample case, tests are proposed for sphericity and for testing the hypothesis that the covariance matrix Σ is an identity matrix, by providing an unbiased estimator of tr [Σ 2] under the general model which requires no more computing time than the one available in the literature for a normal model. In the two-sample case, tests for the equality of two covariance matrices are given. The asymptotic distributions of proposed tests in the one-sample case are derived under the assumption that the sample size N= O (p δ), 1/2< δ< 1, where p is the dimension of the random vector, and O (p δ) means that N/p goes to zero as N and p go to infinity. Similar assumptions are made in the two-sample case.
