I use GradualTest by Odd Gunnar Malin for test suites. It works just fine for me, but doesn't sound quite as sophisticated as what you remember.

MEA by Ferdinand Mosca?
The name is NICE (New Investigator Chess Engines).
Found this tool on my disk, looks like it is really a wrapper over MEA.
The link I downloaded it from was https://rebel13.nl/misc/nice.html

Nice ;)

Note: test-suites with best move and score are a moving target, and the webpage says that SF 11 and Lc0 (version from ~2020?) were used to label those 80K positions, or alike.
