QA Specialist (PowerBi)-BK2

Overview

We are seeking a detail-oriented Quality Assurance (QA) Specialist with strong expertise in Power BI testing and Microsoft Fabric migrations. This role will play a critical part in ensuring data integrity, reliability, and performance across our reporting and analytics environment. The ideal candidate will combine front-end user testing skills (Power BI Service navigation, validating report usability, Playwright) with back-end data validation (SQL queries, pipeline testing, data model checks).

Key Responsibilities

• QA Strategy Execution
  • Develop and implement QA strategies for data workflows, pipelines, and models within Microsoft Fabric.
  • Establish repeatable testing processes to validate data quality, consistency, and accuracy across Power BI reports and semantic models.
• Testing Validation
  • Test Power BI Service functionality, including navigation, permissions, and user interactions.
  • Validate front-end report outputs and ensure consistency with underlying data sources.
  • Query SQL backend sources to confirm data accuracy, transformations, and performance.
  • Compare legacy vs. Fabric environments to ensure identical functionality and results.
• Automation Documentation
  • Design and manage automated testing processes for pipelines, models, and integrations.
  • Document test cases, scenarios, and outcomes in a clear, reproducible manner.
  • Track and report quality metrics, ensuring SLAs for data availability and accuracy are met.
• Collaboration Issue Resolution
  • Work closely with Business Analysts, Power BI Developers, Data Engineers, Modelers, and Governance Specialists to uphold data quality standards.
  • Conduct root cause analysis for data-related issues and coordinate resolution efforts.
  • Recommend improvements in testing frameworks, methodologies, and tools.

Required Skills Experience

• Proven experience in Power BI Service testing, including navigation, permissions, and report validation.
• Ability to query SQL databases for back-end validation and issue troubleshooting.
• Comfort with Excel (pivot tables, lookups, comparisons) for validation and analysis.
• Strong understanding of data quality principles (completeness, accuracy, consistency).
• Familiarity with Microsoft Fabric and Azure environments.
• Knowledge of automated testing frameworks for data pipelines and integrations.
• Experience in defining, tracking, and reporting QA and data quality metrics.
• Strong documentation skills to create clear and repeatable test cases.
• Experience with Playwright to automate front end testing.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience testing data migrations to Microsoft Fabric.
• Familiarity with AI Testing Frameworks and SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) methodology.
• Familiarity with Azure security protocols and governance frameworks.
• Prior experience in root cause analysis for complex data/reporting issues.
• Exposure to continuous integration/continuous testing (CI/CT) practices.
