+# Tools for Node.js compatibility work
+
+We run
+[native Node.js test cases](https://github.com/nodejs/node/tree/main/test)
+against our Node.js compatibility feature.
+
+This directory includes the tools for downloading, setting up, and updating the
+Node.js compat testing in Deno repository.
+
+- `//tools/node_compat/setup.ts`
+  - This script sets up the Node.js compat tests.
+- `//tools/node_comapt/versions/`
+  - Node.js source tarballs and extracted test cases are stored here.
+- `//cli/tests/node_compat/config.json`
+  - This json file stores the settings about which Node.js compat test to run
+    with Deno.
+- `//cli/tests/node_compat/test`
+  - The actual test cases are stored here.
+
+## Steps to add new test cases from Node.js test cases
+
+1. Update `tests` property of `//cli/tests/node_compat/config.json`. For
+   example, if you want to add `test/paralles/test-foo.js` from Node.js test
+   cases, then add `test-foo.js` entry in `tests.parallel` array property in
+   `config.json`
+1. Run `./tools/node_compat/setup.ts`
+
+The above command copies the updated items from Node.js tarball to the Deno
+source tree.
+
+Ideally Deno should pass the Node.js compat tests without modification, but if
+you need to modify it, then add that item in `ignore` perperty of `config.json`.
+Then `setup.ts` doesn't overwrite the modified Node.js test cases anymore.
+
+If the test needs to be ignored in particular platform, then add them in
+`${platform}Ignore` property of `config.json`
+
+## Run Node.js test cases
+
+Node.js compat tests are run as part of `cargo test` command. If you want to run
+only the Node.js compat test cases you can use the command
+`cargo test node_compat`.
