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.

Snyk Code

Static application security testing

Snyk Code uses static analysis to identify security issues in supported languages. The CLI and platform fit alongside Snyk’s other software security products.

Where each fits

Choose Snyk Code when developer-oriented SAST and its wider security platform fit your process. Choose Composal to verify browser journeys and report reproducible runtime failures to engineers or coding agents.

Try this evaluation

Use a change that handles user input and deploy it to a test environment. Review Snyk Code security findings, then run Composal against valid and invalid inputs; compare security evidence with observed 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?
