Based on these results, what would you recommend as the most appropriate approach for usability testing?

Explanation

SUMI is a standardized questionnaire of users’ perceived software usability. Scores of 50 are average and 60 or above are high, so results around 55 indicate good or above-average—not uniformly high—satisfaction. Use-case-based usability testing complements these perception scores by observing whether representative users can complete the relevant tasks and by revealing the specific causes of any usability issues.
