I'm part of the team behind Hawzu, and wanted to share it here since this feels like the right place for an honest "why we built this" post rather than a pitch. The short version: every test management tool we tried before building this treated test cases, requirements, and defects as separate things loosely wired together — usually with Jira duct-taped on for the defect-tracking part. You'd run a thousand tests and still not really be able to answer "are we actually ready to ship" without pinging three people and checking two different tools. So Hawzu ties requirements → test cases → executions → defects into one connected system, with a release-readiness score that's deliberately just arithmetic, not an AI guess — we made a point of keeping that number reproducible (same release, same score, every time) because in QA a number you can't trust twice is worse than no number. Still early — free plan is the full product (not a stripped-down tier), no card needed if anyone wants to poke around: hawzu.com Genuinely interested in feedback, especially from anyone who's fought with TestRail/Zephyr/Xray before and has opinions on what actually matters vs. what we think matters.   submitted by   /u/tejas_anto_a [link]   [comments]
