+Generating assertions in regression tests
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+Some regression test cases are very large and complex to write/update by hand.
+In that case to reduce the human work we can use the scripts available in
+llvm/utils/ to generate the assertions.
+
+For example to update assertions in all the RISCV CodeGen's 'llc' based tests,
+run:
+
+ .. code-block:: bash
+
+     % llvm/utils/update_llc_test_checks.py --llc-binary build/bin/llc -u `find llvm/test/CodeGen/RISCV/ \( -name '*.ll' -o -name '*.mir' \)`
