What Hawzu is

Hawzu is a test management platform for QA and engineering teams 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 author tests with structured steps, reusable shared steps, parameters, datasets, and 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 Hawzu Recorder Chrome extension creates readable manual steps and scripts for Playwright TypeScript or pytest with Selenium Python. Hawzu does not run those scripts; customers run them in their own CI and import the resulting report. The platform accepts JUnit, TRX, NUnit, Cucumber, and Allure reports and maps results to test cases. Connections include Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jira, GitHub Issues, GitLab Issues, Azure DevOps, Linear, Slack, and signed webhooks. Hawzu is cloud-only. Its free plan supports five people, three projects, 90 days of history, and 5,000 CI results per month; Growth costs $20 a month per member when billed yearly.
