Using Cypress bundled packages

Cypress provides a bunch of bundled tools and packages that we can use in our tests to make things easier, not because writing tests with Cypress is otherwise hard, but because these libraries are used by many developers already and so they're familiar with them.

Now that we have the Cypress...
