# Composal vs Gerrit Code Review

By Composal. Sources reviewed: 2026-10-15.

Gerrit coordinates human approval and source change review. Composal verifies a running application in a browser and keeps execution evidence with Scenarios and 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.

## Gerrit Code Review

Change-based review and access control for Git

Gerrit provides a web-based workflow for reviewing commits before they merge. Its change model supports patch sets, reviewer comments, labels, and project-specific permissions.

## Where each fits

Choose Gerrit for a review workflow built around controlled changes and self-managed Git projects. Choose Composal when the release also needs independent browser checks or exploratory QA against a preview.

## Try this evaluation

Route a change through Gerrit labels and review, then deploy a preview for Composal. Compare approval feedback with the outcomes of a two-role Scenario, including whether setup blockers are reported clearly.

### 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?
