Hawzu
Hawzu is a cloud test management platform connecting test cases, requirements, executions, defects, releases, and analytics. It scores release readiness and produces go/no-go verdicts and sign-off reports. Test authors can use structured steps, reusable shared steps, parameters, datasets, and dynamic or hybrid suites. Its AI generates test cases from requirements, specifications, or PDFs, maps coverage, and cites 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 reports. It imports JUnit, TRX, NUnit, Cucumber, and Allure results and maps them to test cases. Integrations include Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jira, GitHub Issues, GitLab Issues, Azure DevOps, Linear, Slack, and signed webhooks. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with role-based access, scoped API tokens, audit logs, and workspace isolation. Free allows five people and three projects; Growth is $20 a month per member billed yearly.
