Objectives
As part of our ongoing efforts to improve the user experience and align our products with strategic goals, we have identified the System Usability Scale (SUS) score as a key performance indicator (KPI) for user satisfaction. Additionally, we will be tracking two other critical usability metrics: time on task and success rate. These metrics will provide a comprehensive view of how well our product supports primary user goals across web and mobile platforms.
The purpose of this usability test is to establish a usability benchmark for the product, which will serve as a foundation for future improvements.

Usability metrics and results
Success rate definition
SUS score
SUS is a standardised questionnaire used to measure the usability of a product, using a 10 questions 5-point scale to generate a score between 0 and 100, with higher indicating higher usability.
The average SUS score is typically 68. A score of 68 or higher is generally considered acceptable or better than average. Above 70 is good, and above 80 is excellent.
Time on task
The shorter the time to complete each task reflects better experience and efficiency. Since there are not time of task benchmarks set we will use an average for each ask
Success rate

Recommendations for improvement
Based on the test findings, the following recommendations are proposed to improve the product’s usability:
Design changes
The input field should be revised and it looks too big which makes forms look to long and bulky
Quick wins
Change to be made to the header text in the withdraw form, currently Transfer details, should be changed to Withdrawal details. Change should be made to the CTA in the form, correct Make a transfer should be Withdraw.
Long-term recommendations
A total redesign of the application is needed as some of the UI components are defected or don't meet industry standards. During this process, more usability tests will be carried out wit users to ensure we meet their needs and give them a better user experience.
Conclusion
Summary
The usability test revealed that while the product performs adequately in most areas, there are specific pain points related to [specific feature]. By focusing on these areas, we can significantly improve the user experience.
Next Steps
The design team will implement the recommended changes and prepare for a follow-up usability test to measure improvements in SUS, time on task, and success rate.
