The theory of General Relativity has successfully passed a large number of observational tests without requiring any adjustment from its original version proposed by Einstein in 1915. The past 8 years have seen significant advancements in the study of the strong-field regime, which can now be tested with gravitational waves, X-ray data, and black hole imaging. This is a compact and pedagogical review on the state-of-the-art of the tests of General Relativity with black hole X-ray data.

Testing non-circular black hole spacetime with X-ray reflection
gr-qc 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

X-ray reflection data for EXO 1846–031 cannot distinguish the non-circular deformation parameter ℓ_NP from zero, remaining consistent with the Kerr hypothesis.
