Hawzu
Hawzu is a test management platform that connects test cases with requirements, executions, defects, releases, and analytics.
What Hawzu is
Hawzu is a test management platform that connects test cases with requirements, executions, defects, releases, and analytics. It scores release readiness and provides go/no-go verdicts and sign-off reports. Teams can create structured test steps, reuse shared steps, add parameters and datasets, and work with dynamic or hybrid suites. Its AI can generate test cases from requirements, specifications, or PDFs, map coverage, and cite source documents through Canon. The beta Chrome Recorder creates readable manual steps and scripts for Playwright TypeScript or pytest with Selenium Python. Hawzu does not run those scripts; teams run them in their own CI and import reports. It imports JUnit, TRX, NUnit, Cucumber, and Allure reports, mapping results to test cases. Integrations include Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jira, Azure DevOps, Linear, Slack, and issue trackers. Hawzu is cloud-only. The Free plan allows five people and three projects; Growth costs $20 a month per member when billed yearly.

Who it suits
Hawzu is aimed at QA and engineering teams seeking a shared system of record for manual testing, automation, or both. It may suit teams that want to connect test activity with release readiness and reporting.
Verdict
Hawzu brings test planning, execution results, and release readiness into one platform. Teams need their own CI to run recorder-generated scripts, and the service does not offer self-hosting.
