Ballpark supports the popular design tool Figma, which can turn your designs into interactive prototypes, ready to test with your participants!
As your participants test your prototype, Ballpark tracks clicks, misclicks, goals and much more to give you deep insights into how your designs perform.
Before you get started, check out our handy tips for working with (large) Figma files to avoid any pitfalls!
The different ways to test your prototype
Prototype tasks: If you want to track how many participants complete a goal on your prototype, then pick the Prototype task step.
Prototype free roam: If you are testing a single screen such as a single landing page, style-guide or components which do not have a specific goal, then select the Prototype free roam.
How to test Figma prototypes
Go to Figma
Select the file you want to test
Click the Play button on the top right-hand corner
Click Share prototype
IMPORTANT: Change the link access to Anyone with the link
Click Copy link
Go to Ballpark
Select any project
Click Add step
Select Prototype task or Prototype free roam for single screens
Paste your Figma prototype share link into the Prototype URL field
You can paste links to a flow and we'll only show screens and components within that flow
Click Add prototype
Select a start screen by clicking on the first thumbnail
Select a goal screen or component state by clicking on Pick a goal screen
You are now ready to share with participants!
⚠️ Important: Once your project receive responses, changes to your prototype can cause inaccurate prototype statistics. In particular, these changes impact paths, heatmaps, and prototype replays. Learn more
New: Interactive Component support
You can now select an interactive component state as the goal in your task! This opens up the door to endless possibilities when testing designs, prototypes, design systems and components.
When selecting a goal, interactive components with different states will show in the components tab:
