After moderating 8 usability sessions for a mobile banking app, a test team has notes indicating that several participants struggled to find the 'transfer funds' feature. Some participants used the search function, others navigated through the menu, and a few gave up. The team needs to synthesize these findings to identify a pattern. What is the most appropriate next step?

Calculate the average time-on-task for the 'transfer funds' task and report it as the primary finding.

List all individual observations in the report without grouping them, to preserve the raw data.

Select the most vocal participant's feedback as representative of the group.

Create an affinity diagram to group similar observations and identify common themes across sessions.

A usability test report includes a recommendation to redesign a navigation menu. The development team asks for the evidence behind this recommendation. The report currently includes a summary of findings but no detailed data. What is the best way to ensure traceability of the recommendation?

Refer to the raw video recordings without any summary or analysis.

State that the recommendation is based on the team's professional judgment.

Add an appendix with the relevant task success rates, error rates, and participant quotes that support the recommendation.

Remove the recommendation to avoid having to justify it.

Which practice is a best practice for creating usability test reports?

Tailoring the content to the audience
