I built a free tool to stress-test slow Power BI reports before your users complain
I've been dealing with reports that run fine in Desktop but crawl in Service. After the third "why is this so slow?" email from stakeholders, I built something to catch performance issues before they hit production.
Power BI Stress Tester (Chrome extension) does a few things:
• Opens multiple report tabs simultaneously to simulate concurrent users
• Randomizes slicer/filter combinations to test different data paths
• Shows live render times and identifies which visuals drag performance down
• Exports session data so you can compare before/after optimizations
I built this for my own team first, so it's pretty niche, but figured it might help others here too.
Would love feedback from anyone dealing with report performance headaches. What other stress-testing scenarios would be useful?
