[Epic]: Streamline test execution and dependency management

[ford-at-aws]

The user story

As a code examples engineer, I want consolidate my "prepare the way" so that our test automation project can proceed as planned.

I know this is done when:

• [ ] all dependencies are documented for all languages, including runtime, language version, and external libraries.

• [ ] tests can be executed at the top level directory via single command for each language

• [ ] tests can be segregated during invocation/execution (e.g. using tagging) based on language best practices

• [ ] #3614

This will allow us to successfully trigger tests from a CICD environment and specifically target unit tests apart from integration tests, as both will follow a different testing paradigm and architecture as the test harness is concerned.
