Answer 1

There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of solutions out there for unit testing SSRS. I've found ideas in this blog helpful.

Also, if you are interested in a tool to help, see: Innosphere's SSRS Unit Testing Suite. They are using a very similar method to the one described in the blog, i.e. export the SSRS report as XML, and use the XML to assert things.

Hope some of that helps.
