punctuation - Use of hyphens when writing repeated compound words that have common parts

In my native language, Norwegian, one uses hyphens when stating two or more copulated compound words that has common parts (words). In a thesis I'm working on, should I write




test specimens, test setups and test results




or could I write (like in Norwegian)





test specimens, -setups and -results?
