On the one hand, a simple smoke testbench allows ensuring that functionality is correct from a software point of view.
That is used for running the RISC-V architecture tests, in order to guarantee compliance with the ISA specification(s).
On the other hand, http://vunit.github.io/[VUnit] and http://vunit.github.io/verification_components/user_guide.html[Verification Components] are used for verifying the functionality of the various peripherals from a hardware point of view.

[TIP]
The processor can check if it is being simulated by checking the SYSINFO _SYSINFO_SOC_IS_SIM_ flag
(see https://stnolting.github.io/neorv32/#_system_configuration_information_memory_sysinfo).
Note that this flag is not guaranteed to be set correctly (depending on the HDL toolchain's pragma support).
