I am not sure if this is the right category. Sorry in advance if it is not. I am applying to a power bi role and the description is below. What do they mean by coding and testing? by coding are they referring to DAX? how does someone do testing in power bi?if anyone has any links on testing or ideas  that would be great. 

"Our Power Bi expert will provide Power BI coding and testing expertise to allow the presentation of complex reporting.  The specific role is a blend of Power BI testing/coding/reporting and requires the ability to build, test, code, update, and maintain very complex Power BI views that are consumed by all levels of leadership."

Power BI testing is crucial for ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and performance of your reports and dashboards. Automating this process using tools like BI Validator can significantly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of your testing efforts.

Key Benefits of Using BI Validator for Power BI Testing:

1. Automated Regression Testing: Ensures that updates or changes do not negatively impact existing report functionalities.
2. No-Code Automation: Integrates with Power BI using REST API and JavaScript API, eliminating the need for custom programming.
3. Comprehensive Testing: Includes regression, stress, performance, and functional testing to maintain high standards for your reports.
4. Migration Testing: Compares reports across different environments to ensure consistency during migrations.

I'd probably say the ability to read/write M code and DAX would fall under coding.  Testing in BI to me is implementing changes from Desktop to Service or Service to Desktop without impacting users.

All of it is essentially saying you should feel comfortable managing (includes build, test, maintain) Power BI Datasets & Reports
