A "code or no-code" testing framework consisting of a web or desktop (Electron) frontend and an Electron app to run in CI (think Cypress on steroids before Cypress took off plus Puppeteer Recorder before Puppeteer existed - tests could be written in jQuery, vanilla ES5/ES2015-16, or completely built from a form and visual DOM element selection) for that NASA project I keep griping about for trying to kill astronauts. Every UI element interacted with was highlighted during the interaction, and step snapshots, video, logs, and PDF reports could be generated from every test.

Best part is I and the team I hijacked got it built and took the frontends from single-digit to almost 90% test coverage in just over a month (I worked with some really great devs).
