# Composal vs Tricentis qTest

qTest manages and orchestrates quality work across a test estate. Composal supplies a focused browser QA workflow with Scenarios, Discovery, Deep Scan, and Findings. qTest can help coordinate coverage and report release status; Composal can independently exercise an app and return concrete browser evidence.

## 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.
