Before publishing reports, check that all visuals load quickly and respond smoothly.
Validate DAX measures for efficiency and avoid repeated heavy calculations.
Ensure filters, slicers, and drill-throughs don’t slow down interactions.
Check data refresh duration and confirm incremental or full refresh behaves as expected.
Test Row-Level Security and role-based access for proper filtering.
