Composal vs Biome

Biome checks source patterns and formatting in supported files. Composal evaluates the deployed application through browser Scenarios and exploration, which complements rather than replaces linting.

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.

Where each fits

Choose Biome when a unified tool for supported language linting and formatting fits your repository. Choose Composal for web acceptance checks, recordings, and Findings tied to actual application behavior.

Try this evaluation

Run Biome on changed frontend files and use Composal on a preview of the same feature. Compare fixable source diagnostics with browser results for a success path and an error path.

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?
