Test frameworks and automation

Composal vs Leapwork

Leapwork expresses automation as visual action and validation blocks. Composal uses plain-English web Scenarios and adds Discovery and Deep Scan for exploratory examination beyond saved paths.

Two workflows, side by side

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.

Create an approval flow with valid and denied roles in both products. Compare how non-engineers review expected behavior, how easily an unplanned edge case is explored and the detail in a reproducible failure.

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?
