Installing SQL Server 2016 CTP2 (Community Technology Preview) to test Reporting Services (SSRS) is a bit of a deception: the installer does not contain the developer tools! They (SSDT-BI or Report Builder) are also not yet available as a separate download as of June 10th 2015.
This fact is not communicated anywhere by Microsoft, although there is a mention by the SQL Server Team on June 1st 2015 in reaction to user Dave's remark concerning this:
Dave, agree completely, the tools upgrade is coming."

This prevents users from testing e.g. the new configurable parameter box.
