Which type of test are we using for these dashboards (Executive and IT Operations)?

According to the Designing and Implementing Enterprise Network Assurance (300-445 ENNA) data analysis guidelines, identifying the underlying test type is the first step in interpreting a dashboard. By observing the metrics displayed across both the Executive and IT Operations dashboards, we can definitively identify the test type as Page Load (Option B).

A Page Load test is a Web-layer test that uses a browser engine (Chromium) to fully render a page and collect advanced metrics beyond simple availability. Evidence for this test type in the dashboards includes:

Page Completion Time: Displayed on the Executive dashboard map, this metric is specific to how much of the page successfully rendered.

DOM Load Time: Found in the IT Operations dashboard, the Document Object Model (DOM) time is a browser-centric metric that measures when the page structure has finished loading.

Waterfall Charts: While not a specific answer option, these are the foundation of Page Load tests, allowing for the timing of individual web components.

Simple HTTP Server tests (Option A) only measure availability and response codes, missing the rendering metrics seen here. Agent to server (Option C) is a network-layer test that provides path visualization but no browser-level data. FTP (Option D) is a protocol-specific test not used for web application monitoring. Therefore, the presence of DOM and Page Completion metrics confirms the Page Load test type.
