Cable test in meraki dashboard

Is it correct analysis if we do cable test in meraki switch dashboard rather than doing manual lan tester from end device to switch?

It can help, but the ideal is to do the test with more qualified equipment.

ok. But what does it indicate on cable test like short, open etc?

You get estimated cable length and any open / failed pairs, but it is not 100% reliable.  It is the equivalent of the IOS-XE CLI command to test a cable connected to a port.
