+# Angular Compatibility Compiler (ngcc)
+
+This compiler will convert `node_modules` compiled with `ngc`, into `node_modules` which
+appear to have been compiled with `ngtsc`.
+
+This conversion will allow such "legacy" packages to be used by the Ivy rendering engine.
+
+## Building
+
+The project is built using Bazel:
+
+```bash
+bazel build //packages/compiler-cli/src/ngcc
+```
+
+## Unit Testing
+
+The unit tests are built and run using Bazel:
+
+```bash
+bazel test //packages/compiler-cli/src/ngcc/test
+```
+
+## Integration Testing
+
+There are tests that check the behaviour of the overall executable:
+
+```bash
+bazel test //packages/compiler-cli/test/ngcc
+```
