Filters & Parameters Testing: BI Validator automatically retrieves Filters and Parameters making it easy to test the list of values displayed in a filter as well as applying them before running the reports.
PDF & Image Comparison: BI Validator compares PDF exports and Image snapshots of the BI dashboard and highlights the differences intuitively.

Automated Regression Testing

Upgrade with peace by comparing Power BI dashboard performance before and after the upgrade.

Performance testing: BI Validator automates performance testing of Power BI dashboards by accurately measuring the time taken by Power BI bootstrap requests and tab-switch events. BI Validator further simplifies the performance recording.
Stress testing: The performance of the Power 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 Power BI.

Perform End-to-end Power BI testing

BI Validator helps automate the comparison of report data with database query output thus enabling end-to-end testing of Power BI reports and dashboards.

Compare Report to SQL Query output: Connect to any ODBC enabled data source and compare Power BI visual data with SQL Query output from the ODBC data source.
BI Tool Migration testing: BI Validator makes it simple to compare the data between reports from different BI tools.
Compare Summary to Detail report data: Compare aggregate metrics in a summary report with data in a detail report.
