 You may not always need to run tests exactly like on the CI environment.
 
 - To run specific suite, just change `test` script in `e2e/package.json` temporarily to `cypress run --spec cypress/integration/<spec.test.js>`
-- To enable mounting `backend` code and live update, just use `e2e/docker-compose.cypress.dev.yml` instead.
