- Adhoc Report Testing: Automatically tests different attribute and measure combinations.
- Performance Testing: Track report performance trends and issues proactively.
- Functional Testing: Compare report data with data from SQL Query.
BI Performance and Stress testing
Upgrade with peace by comparing BI dashboard performance before and after the upgrade.
- Performance testing: BI Validator automates performance testing of dashboards by accurately measuring the time taken by BI bootstrap requests and tab-switch events. BI Validator further simplifies the performance recording.
- Stress testing: The performance of the BI reports under concurrent user load can be tested using the stress test plan. Stress testing can be very helpful when adding new users or upgrading to a version of the BI Platform.
Perform End-to-end BI Testing
BI Validator helps automate the comparison of report data with database query output thus enabling end-to-end testing of BI reports and dashboards.
