Figma Task, integrated with UserTesting, enables UX researchers, designers, and product teams to seamlessly test Figma prototypes and gather actionable insights, ensuring designs are user-centered and validated before development. This article covers the setup process, usage instructions, and tips to maximize its value. |
This article applies to: UserTesting
On this page:
Key features
- Import prototypes: Easily import public Figma prototypes into UserTesting for testing.
- Define success paths: Set up key success paths to evaluate how well users navigate your designs.
- Actionable insights: Receive relevant, designer-friendly results to improve your prototypes
Getting started
1. Prepare Your Figma Prototype
Before importing your Figma prototype, make sure:
- The prototype is set to "Anyone with the link can view."
- Interactive elements (clickable areas, transitions, etc.) are properly defined within Figma.
2. Draft an Interaction Test and add Figma Task
- Navigate to test creation flow in the UserTesting app.
- Select Interaction Test
3. Add Figma Task to the Interaction Test
4. Before importing Figma prototype to Figma, users must enable Figma integration for their UserTesting account.
Users can enable the Integration in 2 ways
Within test creation flow:
- Users connect their Figma account with UserTesting.
- This allows UserTesting to retrieve data related to prototypes from Figma.

5. Importing your prototype into UserTesting
- Paste the link to your Figma prototype.
- Confirm the link and proceed to configure your test.
6. Define the success path
Identify the critical actions or steps users should complete in your prototype.
Highlight these steps in the success path setup to guide participants and evaluate their performance.
7. Add follow-up tasks or questions to get additional information about the prototype
- Focus on your prototype’s key goals, such as:
- “How easy is it to complete [specific action]?”
- “What are your first impressions of the design?”
- “Did you encounter any challenges navigating the prototype?”
8. Choose your audience
- Select the audience segments that align with your target users.
- Customize demographic filters if needed to get the most relevant feedback.
9. Launch your test
- Review your test setup and launch it to gather feedback.
Analyzing results
- Metrics and prototype path flow visualizations help speed up time to insights for Figma tasks.
- To validate findings, view quantitative metrics, including success rates if the test creator has defined success, time on task, and participant ratings.
- View heat maps to dig into navigation customer journeys.
- Analyze large participant sizes quickly with automated path grouping and aggregated screen-level interactions, which helps you analyze interactions from high-volume participants.
- Based on the feedback, continue iterating in Figma - update your Figma prototype to address usability issues or improve the design.
Success paths
- Success
“Success” is defined as reaching the last screen in the researcher’s defined path when creating the test.
- Direct success
A scenario where participants took the exact steps and path defined by the researcher when creating the test.
- Indirect success
This is a scenario in which participants reach the last screen of the researcher’s defined path, even if they take extra steps or deviate along the way.
- Non-success
Scenarios where participants failed to reach the last screen of the researcher’s defined path.
Best practices
-
- Test early and often: Catch issues sooner by testing prototypes at different stages of development.
- Start with small audiences: Begin with a small group of testers to validate initial assumptions before scaling.
- Use open-ended questions: Encourage participants to share their thoughts freely for richer insights.
- Collaborate with your team: Share findings with designers and stakeholders to align on the next steps.
- Use public links: Password protection isn't supported on Mobile devices.
