Is there a plan to enable CI/CD integration? #551

We have a team here that is interested in DAX Studio for Power BI testing. They have started a PoC and so far are having some success.

We would like to include their tests in our automated pipelines, but it looks like the tool is Desktop app only 😞. If I am wrong happy to RTM if it is available or read source if you can point me to it... Even a CLI would work for us. If there is no integration currently, is it an item for your roadmap?

Thanks in advance

I don't see how DAX Studio would add a lot of value to a CI/CD pipeline, we don't have any sort of assertion framework that would help with automated test. If all you want to do is run queries you can do that with a small amount of Powershell as in this gist which executes a dax query and outputs the results to a csv.

Personally I am using nbi.io for our automated testing. It has a huge array of features specifically targeted at automated testing of BI solutions.
