About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: 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.

LambdaTest Launches AI-Native Smart Heal to Enhance Reliability of Automation Testing

New self-healing capability minimizes brittle tests and improves CI/CD stability

LambdaTest, a GenAI-powered quality engineering platform, today announced the release of AI-Native Smart Heal for Automation Testing, a breakthrough capability designed to overcome one of the most persistent challenges in application testing: locator failures.

Locator failures often lead to broken and flaky automation scripts, resulting in frequent test breaks, increased maintenance costs, and delays in development cycles. With Smart Heal, LambdaTest introduces an AI/ML-powered mechanism that automatically detects and recovers from locator issues during test execution. This ensures smoother, more resilient automation runs even as user interfaces evolve.

Smart Heal captures a baseline of successful test executions and uses AI analysis to detect UI changes. When an element cannot be located due to DOM or UI modifications, the system identifies the closest valid match and retries the step to keep execution uninterrupted. If a locator cannot be healed, AI provides actionable suggestions – whether the test passes or fails – so teams can strengthen scripts faster. All healing actions and insights are logged with full transparency in the LambdaTest dashboard.

“Enterprises today demand speed and resilience in their testing pipelines,” said Mayank Bhola, Co-Founder and Head of Product at LambdaTest. “Smart Heal directly addresses the long-standing issue of test fragility by making automation more adaptive and reliable. This capability enables teams to focus on innovation while ensuring their CI/CD processes run with greater stability and efficiency.”

Key applications of Smart Heal include improving CI/CD reliability by reducing flaky build failures, minimizing manual script maintenance in fast-changing UI environments, and providing detailed audit trails to support debugging and continuous improvement.

AI Smart Heal reinforces LambdaTest’s commitment to helping organizations accelerate release cycles with confidence and precision. This new feature is currently available in closed beta. Organizations interested in gaining early access are encouraged to contact LambdaTest to participate in the beta program.
