The record

Purpose: AyeSpy is a high performance visual regression tool for catching UI regressions.
How it works: It takes new screenshots and compares them with baseline images; differences fail the build and generate a report.
Performance: The README says that, with the correct setup, 40 comparisons can run in under a minute.
Install: The README gives `npm i -g aye-spy` as the package installation command.
Browsers: The README lists Firefox and Chrome as supported browsers.
Storage integration: The README says cloud storage is supported through Amazon S3.
Browser automation: The README recommends Selenium Docker images and shows a Selenium Grid URL in its example configuration.
Screenshot controls: Scenario settings can crop to a selector, remove or hide elements, wait for elements, set cookies, and run scripts before capture.
Branch runs: The `--branch` option stores branch screenshots in a separate S3 subdirectory, and the README recommends a lifecycle policy to delete them when finished.
Mobile emulation: The README says mobile emulation can be configured with a device name and currently works only with Chrome.
Limit: The README says switching contexts to iFrames is not supported.
Best fit: The README describes AyeSpy as most effective for loading a page and taking a screenshot, and says complex setup journeys such as checkout flows reduce that value.
License: The repository displays a BSD 3-Clause license.
Maintainer: The README says AyeSpy is brought to you by The Times Tooling team.
