How to automate tests for reports in SSRS

Question

My current project uses SSRS as the reporting engine. I have the report executing a text command with about 10 variables passed to it. I have been looking for a solution on ho

Answer 1

Well that would only test the database 'API', it wouldn't take in to account any of the features you might be using in the report (filtering, sorting, aggregation etc).

The only thing I can suggest is to find a tool that can compare XML and just get the report server to send an XML version of the report.

http://reportserver/ReportServer?/directory/Report1&rs:Format=XML&rs:Command=Render

There must be a tool out there that can do this

Not sure if this has the capability to do it: http://www.soapui.org/
