Skia Gold
=========
-Recommended Workflows
----------------------
+Overview
+--------
+
+Gold is a web application that compares the images produced by our bots against
+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).
