Prototype Test

A prototype test involves presenting a prototype of a digital product to your audience and collecting feedback on its effectiveness. This helps you identify problems and areas of improvement, so you can develop a product that meets users’ expectations and needs. Figma prototype testing is a popular approach for this, allowing for real-time collaboration and feedback.  

Before you build a prototype test, it’s crucial to have a clear understanding of what you intend to validate before you commence testing with your prototype.

It is also essential to recruit testers who accurately represent your target audience. By observing their interaction with the prototype and considering their feedback, you can identify what aspects work well and what needs improvement. The insights gained from this process will enable you to iterate and enhance the product. As a form of UX prototype testing, Figma prototype testing is beneficial for pinpointing usability and design refinement areas.
