Description

Currently all e2e tests are connecting directly to our backend, which will eventually slow our CI down. But Cypress doesn't provide support for mocking graphql requests, they are working on it. Even though there are some workarounds for this, we'll wait until they offer the support to start mocking, or until our CI is too slow, whatever happens first.

Research direction

The issue names Cypress end-to-end tests and links to Cypress issue #95 about GraphQL mocking. Start by checking whether Cypress now supports the required mocking; otherwise monitor the linked issue and reassess when CI becomes too slow. Done would mean the e2e tests mock GraphQL requests instead of connecting directly to the backend.
