UXtweak and Figma

The UXtweak Prototype Testing Tool allows you to conduct user testing directly on Figma prototypes with real users. This integration can provide invaluable insights into user behavior and preferences to help you build better, user-centered products.

Use UXtweak to:

• Conduct user testing on Figma prototypes
• A/B test prototypes to compare their performance
• Preference Test design options to pick the variant your audience resonates with
• Get quantitative data like success rates, lostness metric, directness and time taken
• Set up screening questions to filter out and segment respondents
• Ask follow-up questions with scales, multiple options, or open-ended questions
• Find the best user paths for your designs
• Recruit testers using an Onsite Recruiting widget
• Turn your website visitor into a prototype tester or order respondent from the global User Panel

UXtweak uses your Figma prototype's share link to conduct usability testing studies. UXtweak will need view-only access to all your Figma files to import the information needed to create a user test.

Check out the UXtweak documentation to learn more, or contact the UXtweak team for support.

Aside from using the Prototype Testing tool for usability testing, you can use UXtweak to include user insights and feedback in the prototyping stages. Most notably you can:

• Use Card Sorting to define information architecture for your prototype and make sure it meets user expectations.
• Use the Tree Testing Tool to evaluate your information architecture and structure for intuitive navigation.
• Use Five Second Tests to get a better understanding of users to help you deliver your message clearly.
