Introducing Figma Prototype Tasks With UsabilityHub
UsabilityHub is excited to announce a new integration with Figma, allowing you to test your Figma prototypes with our 400k+ panel.

You and your team have worked tirelessly to brainstorm and design, culminating in a snazzy Figma prototype. The next step is pretty obvious â get feedback from real users to make sure you havenât missed anything.
If youâve wished for this feature to be incorporated into UsabilityHub, weâre delighted to announce itâs finally a reality! Our new prototype task feature means that testing prototypes is fast, simple, and affordable.
How to do prototype testing with UsabilityHub and Figma
To get started with prototype testing, simply add a prototype task section to your UsabilityHub test.

Grab a flow link from your Figma prototype and add it to the test to get started. Youâll authenticate with Figma briefly and then we sync the prototype directly from your Figma account. You donât have to leave UsabilityHub â just make sure youâre logged into Figma.

Youâll need to add a task so you can ask your testers to do something with your prototype, like âTry to check out an itemâ or âAdd the red baseball cap to your favorites listâ. If you donât have a specific task you can also ask them to simply explore the prototype freely and they can answer follow-up questions later.
Adding follow-up questions is as simple as any other task. Follow-up questions allow you to ask what your participants thought about your designs with either verbatim or multiple choice style questions. You can also hide or show the prototype section based on logic, if you have appropriate conditions in your test to do so.

If it seems simple, thatâs because the real insight and value comes at the results page, where you can dig deeper into the data youâve collected.
Simple, no-fuss test-taking experience
Before we jump into the results, letâs take a look at the test-taking experience for prototype tasks. You can test both mobile and desktop assets, and take the test on both mobile devices and desktop computers, and the test-taking experience magically aligns everything to fit.
One huge benefit for testing with UsabilityHub is that there's nothing to install, download, or any prep for the test participant at all. They simply open the link in a browser and your prototype displays seamlessly.
For test participants who are used to UsabilityHub, the prototype task experience is very similar to existing task types. Itâs simple and intuitive â all they need to do is click the screens and answer questions as normal.
â

The task instructions are always available, and if your participant forgets what theyâre doing, they can always reread the instructions.
Prototype task participants let you know when theyâre done with the test or indicate that theyâve given up. Unlike navigation tasks, which end once the participant has clicked outside a hotspot/hitzone, prototype tasks continue unless the participant chooses to move on (even if they click on something unlinked). If they get distracted the test will time out, as usual. This allows for more free-form exploration of a prototype, as well as task-oriented testing.
Participants answer follow-up questions while observing the prototype, allowing them to browse it while they respond, but their behavior is no longer recorded after theyâve completed the task.

Prototype tests can of course be run with both your own audience and the UsabilityHub panel.
Powerful results and detailed insights
When your test is complete, review and analyze the various paths at the results screen. You can dig deep into the task completion time, where people clicked, and whether participants could successfully get to a certain screen.
To understand whether participants successfully completed a task, simply define the goal screen in your prototype to see whether the test participants were able to navigate to it successfully. Your results will then show you data about who made it to the goal screen and who didnât.

To help you understand emerging patterns, we surface any common paths taken through your prototype. The more people who do the test, the more patterns you see emerging. This is particularly useful for complex prototypes where thereâs more than one way to achieve a task. With UsabilityHub you can discover how people are getting from A to B, and then use that to refine your designs.

The real power comes from the advanced filtering options. Want to see the follow-up answers only from participants who got to the endpoint successfully? Easy. Want to see whether people who gave up answered other test questions differently? Simple.

The overview section provides a helpful summary of the top metrics, including who made it to the goal screen, who completed the task, how many dead clicks were made, and who gave up.
To go deep into an individual test response, you can view their answers in isolation, including the path they took through the prototype and their key stats (time to complete, clicks, etc.) You can click any screen from common paths or individual paths to see exactly where the clicks landed.
And for those who still want more, prototype results data are in the CSV export, so download and make Excel magic happen. â¨
