Assignment Deliverables

As a member of the data migration team and reporting team, you will provide quality assurance for the data migration and BI reporting efforts:

Data Migration

• Test Plan: Develop comprehensive test plans outlining the testing approach, scope, objectives, and the resources required for data migration quality assurance.
  
• Test Cases: Create detailed test cases and test scripts covering all aspects of data migration, including data extraction, transformation, loading, and validation.
  
• Test Data: Prepare test data sets that mimic real-world scenarios, ensuring the data covers a wide range of cases and scenarios.
  
• Test Execution: Perform testing activities according to the test plan, documenting any issues or discrepancies encountered during the data migration process.
  
• Defect Reports: Report and track defects, issues, or inconsistencies found during testing. Clearly document the steps to reproduce these issues.
  
• Regression Testing: Conduct regression testing to ensure that existing functionality in Dynamics 365 CRM is not adversely affected by the data migration.
  
• Performance Testing: If applicable, conduct performance testing to ensure the data migration process does not degrade system performance.
  
• Documentation: Maintain detailed documentation of test cases, test results, and any modifications made to the test plan during the project.

• Functionality Testing: Test the interactive features of Power BI reports, including filtering, drill-through, and parameterization, to ensure they function correctly.
  
• Performance Testing: Conduct performance testing to ensure that Power BI reports load and respond within acceptable time frames, especially with large datasets.
  
• Security Testing: Verify that security measures (e.g., row-level security, data encryption) are correctly implemented to protect sensitive data in Power BI reports.
  
• Regression Testing: Perform regression testing to ensure that changes or updates to Power BI reports do not introduce new defects or affect existing functionality.
  
• Accessibility Testing: Ensure that Power BI reports are accessible to users with disabilities and comply with accessibility standards.
