Composal vs Gitea pull requests

Gitea provides the source review surface and merge controls. Composal checks user journeys in a running browser environment and returns recordings, Findings, and concrete reproduction steps.

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.

Try this evaluation

Open a Gitea pull request that changes onboarding, then exercise its preview with Composal. Compare reviewer comments and branch protections with observed outcomes for new users and returning users.

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?
