Compression tests vs. Oil Analysis

Once it gets warmer in the NE I'm planning to check what shape my engine is in and was wondering how good Oil Analysis is comapred to a compression test in doing that.

Can someone tell me what kind of problems a compression test would be able to detect that an oil test would miss and vice versa.

Thank you.
