Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to automate data-processing workflows, yet coding agents typically produce scripts that are not automatically materialized as persistent, editable platform artifacts. We call this disconnect the \textit{NL2Pipeline gap}. To bridge it, we introduce \textsc{DataFlow-Harness}, a platform that guides an LLM agent to construct platform-native directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) through typed, incremental mutations rather than free-form scripts. The platform combines \textsc{DataFlow-Skills} for procedural guidance, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) layer that exposes the live operator registry and current pipeline state, and \textsc{DataFlow-WebUI}, which synchronizes conversational authoring with a visual DAG editor. On a 12-task data-engineering benchmark, \textsc{DataFlow-Harness} achieves a 93.3\% observed end-to-end pass rate. Relative to Vanilla Claude Code, it reduces measured monetary cost by 72.5\% and generation latency by 49.9\%; its observed pass rate is within 0.9 percentage points of the Context-Aware Claude Code baseline while its cost is 42.8\% lower. Per-task analysis indicates that Skills are most useful when construction depends on implicit procedural knowledge. These results show that live platform grounding can produce persistent, editable workflow artifacts with an observed reliability close to script-generation baselines and with lower measured construction cost and latency.

Automated test generation for telecom software systems and networks has advanced significantly with the adoption of machine learning and rule-based approaches. However, most existing solutions generate static test suites against a snapshot of the system; as code, configurations, topologies, and key performance indicators (KPIs) evolve, these tests quickly become outdated or misaligned with the live system. There is currently no widely adopted solution that continuously detects fine-grained changes and selectively adapts only the affected tests without regenerating entire test suites. This paper presents a context-aware generative AI framework for automated telecom test script generation that treats testing as a continuously adapting process driven by the current state of the system rather than a static artifact. The central contribution is delta-conditioned test generation over a live knowledge graph: our approach employs a continuously updated knowledge graph (KG) as a single source of truth, a delta engine for fine-grained change detection, and a KG-guided generative AI agent, operating via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), to create, update, or retire test cases automatically. We further integrate Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to enrich reasoning with telecom-domain knowledge and historical artifacts. We demonstrate applicability across software-system and telecom-network use cases, including a Python-based KPI monitoring application managed in GitLab, and show how the framework reduces manual effort, improves test relevance, and accelerates test cycles.
