npx is a npm package runner that allows executing CLI commands that might not be installed globally.

cypress is a JavaScript-based end-to-end testing framework that allows developers to write automated tests for web applications.

open is a Cypress command that launches the Cypress Test Runner, which provides a graphical interface for running tests, inspecting results, and debugging.

So, the command npx cypress open launches the Cypress Test Runner. It will look for a cypress.json file in the root directory and run the tests specified in the integration folder. If cypress.json does not exist, it will prompt the user to create one.
