Motivation and Context

These changes are necessary to streamline our Cypress setup process, optimize test execution time through parallelization, and improve artifact management for easier access to test results and screenshots. These enhancements have resulted in a significant performance boost, reducing the test execution time from approximately 20 minutes to less than 3 minutes. This will greatly improve our development workflow and productivity.

Note: The changes have been made according to the Cypress documentation. However, please be aware that the tests are currently not working as expected due to the absence of package-lock.json.

How Has This Been Tested?

The changes have been tested in the following ways:

• Local Testing: Ran the Cypress tests locally to ensure compatibility with the updated Cypress version and configuration changes.
• Forked Repository Testing: Tested the changes in a different branch of my forked repository to validate their functionality in an environment similar to the upstream repo.
