# Composal vs Autonoma

Autonoma integrates preview creation and seeded test data into its PR review loop, with project source available on GitHub. Composal provides a hosted workspace for Scenarios, Discovery and exploratory Findings.

## Composal

Composal sends AI browser agents to use your running web app and check the outcomes you care about. Define journeys as plain-English Scenarios, map existing flows with Discovery, or explore for bugs with Deep Scan. Runs keep recordings and reproduction steps so your team or coding agent can investigate a Finding.

## Autonoma

Open-source agentic pull-request testing

Autonoma is an open-source platform that generates natural-language end-to-end tests and runs a browser agent against pull-request previews. Its project describes preview environments, test-data setup and PR findings with screenshots and video.

## What each tool does

| Workflow | Composal | Autonoma |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [Run browser journeys](https://composal.com/product/scenarios) | ✓ Yes: Run saved browser Scenarios and return recordings and reproducible Findings. | ✓ Yes: Runs automated checks against application behavior. |
| [Map application workflows](https://composal.com/product/discovery) | ✓ Yes: Discovery maps key application areas and user journeys. | – Not confirmed: Check whether this product includes this workflow in your intended plan and setup. |
| [Explore for unexpected issues](https://composal.com/product/deep-scan) | ✓ Yes: Deep Scan explores the running application and reports reproducible issues. | – Not confirmed: Check whether this product includes this workflow in your intended plan and setup. |
| [Describe checks in plain English](https://composal.com/product/scenarios) | ✓ Yes: Author Scenarios around the intended user outcome, then review the steps and expected results. | ✓ Yes: Generates natural-language end-to-end tests and executes them with a browser agent. |
| [Run or inspect from a terminal](https://composal.com/product/cli) | ✓ Yes: Use the CLI to start and inspect verification runs and their Findings. | – Not confirmed: Check whether this product includes this workflow in your intended plan and setup. |

With setup means you supply code or configuration. Not confirmed means support for this workflow needs checking with the vendor.

## Where each fits

Choose Autonoma when an inspectable open-source workflow and automatic preview environments fit your engineering process. Choose Composal when teams want to direct hosted browser verification from Scenarios and agent tools.

## Try this evaluation

Use the same repository and a preview with one seeded account. Compare environment setup ownership, what the agent discovers beyond saved expectations and how each result helps an engineer reproduce the defect.

### Coverage

Which user outcomes must this release prove, and which specialist checks must stay in your existing stack?

### Setup

Who prepares accounts, test data, permissions and access to the deployment being tested?

### Evidence

Can the engineer reproduce a reported failure from the recording and steps, without asking the tester to investigate again?

### Ownership

Who updates the checks when the product changes, and can the team review what a passing result actually proves?
