About Zephyr
From simple embedded environmental sensors and LED wearables to sophisticated embedded controllers, smart watches, and IoT wireless applications. Implements configurable architecture-specific stack-overflow protection, kernel object and device driver permission tracking, and thread isolation with thread-level memory protection on x86, ARC, and ARM architectures, userspace, and memory domains. For platforms without MMU/MPU and memory constrained devices, supports combining application-specific code with a custom kernel to create a monolithic image that gets loaded and executed on a system’s hardware. Both the application code and kernel code execute in a single shared address space.

OpenWrt
OpenWrt is a highly extensible GNU/Linux distribution for embedded devices (typically wireless routers). Unlike many other distributions for routers, OpenWrt is built from the ground up to be a full-featured, easily modifiable operating system for embedded devices. In practice, this means that you can have all the features you need with none of the bloat, powered by a modern Linux kernel. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with optional package management. This frees you from the restrictions of the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to use packages to customize an embedded device to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt provides a framework to build an application without having to create a complete firmware image and distribution around it.

Bugasura
Bugasura is our take on how modern teams should manage quality. Most test management tools still feel like they were designed in the dial-up era—slow, heavy, and full of unnecessary rituals. Bugasura cuts through all that and gives teams a clean, fast, human way to manage everything from requirements to releases.
It starts with the Requirements Manager, where teams capture what needs to be built and link it directly to test cases and bugs. No scattered docs. No detective work.
Then comes Test Management—reusable test cases, smart grouping, tagging, bulk actions, and fast execution. Test cycles stop feeling like paperwork. Testers stay in flow, raise bugs instantly, and don’t need five tabs open just to get work done.
The Bug Tracker is where Bugasura shows its teeth. It auto-captures screenshots, logs, device info, and browser metadata—everything developers usually chase testers for. Issues come pre-loaded with context, killing the “Can you reproduce this?” loop.
