    Hi powerbiexpert22 ,
    It's good to see your understanding of the best way to test your data in Power BI dashboards and reports. These actions are indeed the right steps for testing your data. I have a few additions to these steps that you can refer to. First, for data accuracy, you can use Query diagnostics in Power Query, which can further understand and validate the queries that Power BI builds and sends to SQL Server.
    In order to verify the correctness of the data model, the method of validating each metric for all dimensions by running SQL statements on the database is very thorough. As a complement, you can also explore using the DAX Studio tool. DAX Studio can help you validate DAX expressions and measure performance, ensuring that your data model is not only correct, but optimized for performance.
    You can refer to the links below for more information

    Best regards,
