# Composal vs Zephyr

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

Zephyr organizes test cases, cycles, and results in Jira, connecting QA work to development issues. Composal provides a separate workspace for browser Scenarios, Discovery, exploratory Deep Scan, and Findings. Zephyr can record a test plan and execution status; Composal can supply interactive evidence from a running web app.

## 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.

### 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?
