# Composal vs Xray

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

Xray provides a test repository and lifecycle inside Jira, while Composal provides managed browser execution for Scenarios and exploratory QA.

## 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.

## Xray

Jira-based test management and traceability

Xray is a test-management application for Jira that lets teams create and organize tests, preconditions, test sets, plans, and executions. Its product materials emphasize traceability between requirements, tests, runs, and defects, with support for manual and automated testing.

Use one Jira requirement with a known user journey and a documented risk.

### 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?
