+## Running the Tests with Simulators not Supported by VUnit
+
+The repository contains a VUnit mock which provides an alternative implementation
+for the VUnit subprograms used by the testbenches. This is a minimalistic
+implementation that do not mimic true VUnit behavior, but it still enables
+the testbenches to execute, pass, and fail as intended. The VUnit mock files can
+be found in the `vunit_mock` directory and must be compiled into a library named
+`vunit_lib`. The testbenches in the `vhdl_2008` and `vunit_2019` directories can
+then be compiled and simulated independently. Please review the log for any
+compliance errors that may be detected during the simulation.

 ## Interpreting Test Results
