@cypress/webpack-preprocessor allows Cypress tests to leverage Webpack's bundling capabilities.

This eliminates the need to manually transpile or bundle assets, streamlining the testing process. Configuration is highly flexible and can be tailored to match the existing Webpack setup of the tested application, resulting in consistent behavior between testing and application environments.
