NBi will provide users with a testing framework (add-on to NUnit) for Microsoft Business Intelligence platform and Data Access.
With NBi, developers will be able to create XML-based tests with a declarative approach and there is no need to develop C# code to specify tests. Visual Studio is not necessary, too.
All you have to do is create an XML file and let NBi interpret it and play your tests. This particular framework is designed as an add-on of NUnit; however, you have the possibility to easily port it to other testing environments.
What's New in This Release:
· Enhancements and new features
· In addition to SQL and MDX queries, NBi is now supporting DAX queries
· New items to support the testing of structure for Tabular model (in addition of existing items for multi-dimensional model)
· Performance improvements when comparing two result-sets (especially for large result-sets) - Thx to NonExplodingBiped

· Support for Boolean and DateTime types in addition to Numeric and Text fields
· Support of two new placeholders (value) and (empty) for pre-defined result-sets
· Improved some error messages
