GlobalLogic Unveiled Agentic AI-Powered Test Automation Kit at RDK Global Summit to Accelerate Broadband and 5G FWA Deployments

 
New AI-native validation framework transforms natural-language intent into self-healing, executable test automation for next-generation broadband and 5G Fixed Wireless Access devices.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. and AMSTERDAM – September 15, 2026 — GlobalLogic, a Hitachi Group Company and leader in digital engineering, has introduced its Test Automation Kit (TAK), an AI-native validation framework engineered to address critical quality assurance bottlenecks across the telecommunications industry. Designed for both fixed broadband and 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) environments, TAK is a unified automation framework that transforms plain-English requirements into fully executable, validated Python test scripts through its Agentic AI-powered core.

As broadband networks evolve to support next-generation technologies such as Wi-Fi 7 and 5G FWA, service providers face increasing pressure to deliver software updates at a much faster cadence. Legacy testing approaches, however, can be slow, complex, and maintenance-intensive, making it difficult for engineering organizations to keep pace.

Built on GlobalLogic’s field-proven software footprint spanning more than 50 million connected devices, TAK helps bridge this gap by orchestrating and validating complex broadband environments across physical and virtual labs, including traditional fixed broadband gateways and 5G FWA customer premises equipment (CPE). This enables telecommunications operators and broadband service providers to accelerate release cycles, expand validation coverage, and deliver more reliable connected experiences to their customers.

“Traditional QA automation is struggling to keep pace with the speed and complexity of modern broadband platforms,” said Yogendra (Yogi) Sharma, Head of GlobalLogic’s Communications & Network Providers business. “Teams are spending too much time on a perpetual script-rewrite treadmill. By executing the code it generates directly in authorized physical and virtual lab environments, our Test Automation Kit can interpret feedback, adapt and self-heal in real time. We’re enabling engineering teams to move from intent to automation in minutes—and from raw logs to actionable insights just as quickly.”

Unlike generic generative AI coding assistants, the Test Automation Kit is designed specifically for the complexity of multi-interface telecommunications environments, and delivers several key capabilities:

• Democratized Automation: TAK reduces dependency on specialized CPE automation skills by enabling manual QA engineers, developers and product managers to describe tests in plain English and generate verified, ready-to-run Python scripts.
• From Intent to Automation in Minutes: The framework automates complex scenarios and edge cases in a fraction of the time required by traditional approaches, helping engineering teams expand test coverage, increase validation velocity and reduce time-to-market.
• Reduced Automation Maintenance: When a CPE’s UI, API or underlying implementation changes, teams can use TAK’s Agentic AI capabilities to regenerate and adapt automation scripts, reducing the ongoing maintenance burden associated with traditional test automation.
• Intelligent Diagnostics and Root-Cause Analysis: TAK can analyze CI test runs, investigate failures and use multi-agent reasoning to identify potential root causes, helping engineering teams move from raw logs to actionable insights faster.

At its core, the Test Automation Kit leverages AI-assisted script diagnosis and repair. When an automation script fails, the system analyzes actual system behavior to pinpoint errors, propose intelligent workarounds, and accelerate script recovery while preserving the original test intent.

The AI agents do not operate in isolation. They are grounded in GlobalLogic’s documented and mature broadband automation foundation, helping ensure that generated code follows proven engineering practices while supporting the reliability, security, and repeatability required for carrier-grade validation environments.

TAK demonstrates how GlobalLogic is bringing advanced AI capabilities to the RDK community to help drive the next generation of intelligent connectivity. Leveraging its global engineering footprint and deep broadband expertise, GlobalLogic provides professional services across RDK-B platform development, integration and software validation; helping operators accelerate time-to-market and simplify the complexity of deploying open-source solutions.

“GlobalLogic is well-recognized for its advanced AI capabilities, including areas such as remote diagnostics and sophisticated applications. We look forward to their continued leadership,” said Jason Briggs, President of RDK Management.
