RISC-V Architectural Tests (ACT) are an evolving set of tests that are created to help ensure that SW written for a given RISC-V Profile will run on all implementations that comply with that profile.

These tests also help ensure that the implementer has both understood and implemented the specification.

The RISC-V Architectural Tests test suite is a minimal filter. Passing the tests and having the results approved by RISC-V International is one of the prerequisites to being listed as RISC-V ISA Compatible. Details of RISC-V trademark usage may be found on the RISC-V International Web page at https://riscv.org/.

Passing the RISC-V Architectural Tests does not mean that the design complies with the RISC-V Architecture. These are only a basic set of tests. 

The RISC-V Architectural Tests are not a substitute for rigorous design verification; it is the responsibility of the implementer to deploy extensive testing.
