+known baseline images. Key features: |
+ |
+* Baselines are managed in Gold outside of Git, but in lockstep with Git commits. |
+* Each commit creates >500k images. |
+* Deviations from the baseline are triaged after a CL lands and images are triaged |
+ as either `positive` or `negative`. If a CL causes Skia to break it is reverted |
+ or an additional CL is landed to fix the problem. |
+* We test across a range of dimensions, e.g.: |
+ |
+ - OS (Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, iOS) |
+ - Architectures (Intel, ARM) |
+ - Backends (CPU, OpenGL, Vulkan etc.) |
+ - etc. |
+ |
+* Written in Go, Polymer and deployed on the Google Cloud. The code |
+ is in the [Skia Infra Repository](https://github.com/google/skia-buildbot). |
