Several classical tests are investigated for testing the homogeneity of variances. However, in case of homoscedasticity statistics do not perform well with small sample size. In this article we discuss the use of bootstrap technique for the problem of testing equality of variances with small samples. Two important features of the proposed resampling method are their flexibility and robustness. Both £\ levels and power of our new proposed procedure is compared with the other classical methods discussed here.
