vdk-heartbeat: make quickstart-vdk operability tests part of heartbeat

[DeltaMichael]

What is the feature request? What problem does it solve?
#2359 adds operability tests for the frontend. The operability tests are e2e tests that run using cypress. As a developer, I would like to be able to run the same tests using vdk-heartbeat. This makes the tests portable to other pipelines, for example.

Suggested solution
Look into a way to trigger cypress from heartbeat. Cypress does not have a python interface, so this might be a challenge. The alternative is using Selenium, which does have a python package associated with it, but brings in more overhead.
