+# core-v-wally Design Verification Test Plan
+
+This document outlines the test plan for the Wally rv64gc configuration to reach Technology Readiness Level 5.
+
+1. Pass riscv-arch-test
+2. Boot Linux
+3. FPU pass all TestFloat vectors
+4. Performance verification: Caches and branch predictor miss rates match independent simulation
+5. Directed tests
+	- Privileged unit: Chapter 5 test plan
+	- MMU: PMA, PMP, virtual memory: Chapter 8 test plan
+	- Peripherals: Chapter 16 test plan
+6. Random tests
+	- riscdv tests
+7. Coverage tests
+	- Directed tests to bring coverage up to 100%.  
+		- Statement, experssion, branch, condition, FSM coverage in Questa 
+		- Do not measure toggle coverage
+
+All tests operate correctly in lock-step with ImperasDV
+
+Open questions:
+1. How to define extent of riscdv random tests needed?
+2. What other directed tests?
+    PMP Tests
+    Virtual Memory Tests
+		How to define pipeline tests? 
+			Simple ones like use after load stall are not important.
+			Hard ones such as page table walker fault during data access while I$ access is pending are hard to articulate and code
+      Is there an example of a good directed pipeline test plan & implementation
