  An outstanding question in modern Physics is whether general relativity (GR)
is a complete description of gravity among bodies at macroscopic scales.
Currently, the best experiments supporting this hypothesis are based on
high-precision timing of radio pulsars. This chapter reviews recent advances in
the field with a focus on compact binary millisecond pulsars with white-dwarf
(WD) companions. These systems - if modeled properly - provide an unparalleled
test ground for physically motivated alternatives to GR that deviate
significantly in the strong-field regime. Recent improvements in observational
techniques and advances in our understanding of WD interiors have enabled a
series of precise mass measurements in such systems. These masses, combined
with high-precision radio timing of the pulsars, result to stringent
constraints on the radiative properties of gravity, qualitatively very
different from what was available in the past.
