About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals.

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on:

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Tricentis Launches Tosca Copilot to Boost Productivity and Quality Across the Entire Testing Lifecycle

Latest addition to Tricentis’ suite of generative AI-powered intelligent test automation assistants

Tricentis, a global leader in continuous testing and quality engineering, today announced the launch of Tricentis Tosca Copilot, the latest addition to its suite of generative AI-powered Tricentis Copilot solutions. Tosca Copilot has been designed to boost productivity gains and increase application quality at every phase of the testing lifecycle without compromising responsible usage, safety, or accessibility.

Tosca Copilot is a generative AI assistant that helps QA teams quickly find, understand, and optimize test assets through an intuitive chat interface. This ensures greater efficiency, faster onboarding, and reduced redundancy. Integrated seamlessly as an add-on within Tricentis Tosca, users can interact with the Copilot directly in the Tosca Commander interface. By leveraging advanced LLMs and proprietary embeddings, the Copilot enhances productivity across all phases of test automation.

Initial Tosca Copilot capabilities include:

  • Test portfolio optimization: Tosca Copilot helps users to quickly find unused test cases, duplicates, unlinked assets, specific executions, and tests linked to application elements, and then perform mass changes or modifications. By chatting with the Tosca Copilot in natural language, these requests can be converted into complex Tosca Query Language queries, saving hours of manual work, eliminating redundancy, and enabling non-technical users to manage assets efficiently.
  • Comprehensive test case explanation: Tosca Copilot enables users to quickly understand long, complex workflows by summarizing end-to-end tests in simple, natural language. This functionality boosts productivity, simplifies maintenance, and accelerates onboarding for new team members.
  • Execution insights: By quickly interpreting execution results and providing meaningful, actionable insights, Tosca Copilot helps users troubleshoot issues and defects faster. This leads to quicker issue resolution, shorter release cycles, and significant time savings.

These capabilities translate into benefits including:

  • Time savings: Time spent on complex testing activities can be cut in half. Execution insights resolve issues faster, leading to shorter release cycles and significant time savings.
  • Productivity gains: Tosca Copilot simplifies onboarding and accelerates learning to empower new staff, leading to quicker productivity gains and more efficient workflows.
  • Cost savings: Costs are cut by minimizing repetitive testing tasks, eliminating unused or duplicate assets, and reducing redundancy in the test portfolio.

“Tricentis Copilot offers a fully integrated solution to leverage the latest generative AI capabilities to greatly simplify testing. This user-centric experience enables users to safely and responsibly complete complex testing tasks that other general purpose, generative-AI tools cannot,” explained Mav Turner, Chief Product and Strategy Officer, Tricentis.

The Tosca Copilot solution has been beta-tested by a range of organizations which are already reporting its value and positive benefits, such as Accenture-owned ARZ Allgemeines Rechenzentrum GmbH.

“The integration of AI with testing levels the playing field for all team members, regardless of technical skill level. This allows even citizen testers to play a greater role in testing for fewer errors and greater productivity, leading to faster time to market and lower costs,” continued Turner. “We're already witnessing a 16% to 43% reduction in test failure rates with Tricentis AI tools, and up to a 50% increase in test case generation.”

The addition of Tosca Copilot to the Tricentis suite of generative AI-powered test automation assistants follows the launch of Tricentis Testim Copilot in April to make test creation faster and test code more understandable. A new Tricentis Copilot solution for Tricentis qTest will also be added to simplify and accelerate test case generation using generative AI and streamline the user experience as part of the rolling Tricentis Copilot program.

Tosca Copilot is available today. Learn more about how Tosca Copilot and Testim Copilot can help your team move faster and achieve better quality at www.tricentis.com/products/copilot.

The waitlist to join the beta program for qTest Copilot is now open and new users can sign up here.
