Automated Testing of Power BI Report Layout
Hi All,
Currently manually testing the layout of Power BI report. Eg: size and color of the buttons, alignment, gap between the rows & columns etc
Is it possible to automate it? If yes, please give the details
Regards,
Harika

Hi chinnah1
I don't think such tools exists to check these automatically.
You can use Gridlines and snap objects to grid when authoring reports in PBI Desktop to have a less painful experience.
Hi Bhavesh,
Is there any way we can export PBIX file to HTML or XMLA? so we can try access this file and look for properties of objects etc alignment ( x and y axis, font size, color etc)
Thanks,
Harika

Thanks,Vishnu Priyacheck out https://www.thebiccountant.com/2019/09/14/compare-power-bi-files-with-power-bi-comparer-tool/ which is excel power query app that retrieves report layout information from PBIX converted to PBIT (template) file. The PBIT file can also be manually unzipped using Winzip. The resulting extracted files can be inspected. The comparer tool above does this.
