I recently used the network test as part of debugging (an ultimately
unrelated issue). If you're considering reworking it, then here's my
feedback:-

1) the different format between SB3/Boom and Radio/Receiver is awkward
to provide a single answer
2) the controller/radio history is useful to show consistency of
perofrmance but a calculated average would be nice.
3) it appears to be a player connection test (rather than the whole
network)
4) The SB3 tests timeout, making it difficult to test all players
simultaneously (my SB3's are on different floors, so I start one test
run upstairs start the second and run down to see if there is an
impact).
5) there is no clear 'pass' parameter - is 95% required or 100%. 
6) my network happily streams synchronised FLAC to 5 players for weeks
on end. The tests say it isn't capable of that!

my experience is in the following

I like the suggestion of a 'ten minute test' for all players with a
clear summary (perhaps a bit more than pass/fail) so that a network can
be given the 'all-clear' or 'implicated' when testing issues.

Recognise that what I would like could well be constrained by other
limitations, including available effort ;-) keep up the good work.
