Test frameworks and automation

Composal vs Maestro
Maestro favors short declarative flows and black-box UI interaction across mobile and web. Composal provides hosted web Scenarios and exploratory browser sessions with generated reproduction evidence.
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.

Declarative mobile and web UI testing
Maestro defines automated UI tests as YAML flows and interacts with mobile and web applications through user-visible interfaces. Its docs cover CLI execution, visual test creation, devices and cloud runs.

Choose Maestro when simple flow files and mobile coverage suit your app-testing needs. Choose Composal when a team wants hosted web QA from saved requirements through exploratory reports and agent handoff.

Translate a login, search and access-denied journey into a Maestro flow and Composal Scenario. Compare readability, app setup, cross-device needs and whether each result helps an engineer understand an unexpected behavior.
- 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?
