Description

We should update the testing section by removing old ways of testing with Chimp, etc. with Cypress as per recent blog post: https://blog.meteor.com/testing-a-meteor-app-with-cypress-bfb3d3c6ed6f

Also the entire testing section could use an update.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Read the linked blog post about testing Meteor with Cypress and update the testing section in the guide to replace outdated tools like Chimp with modern Cypress practices. Review existing testing documentation to identify sections that need revision.
