📌 Product Round-up: Stronger integrations for more relevant results
Test complex Figma prototypes, hire from a more diverse Maze Panel, and share insights in your favorite tools with new Maze Report embeds.
Maze now supports Figma's Interactive Components 🎉
We're excited to share that our Figma integration now supports their newest feature: Interactive Components (IAC), enabling you to run usability tests and collect results on any and every interaction in your prototype.
When you use Figma IAC, you optimize your files by reducing frames and connections for your input fields and creating prototype interactions between variants in a component set.
By enabling interactive components in your maze, you can:
- Test high-fidelity prototypes to get more accurate feedback on more realistic experiences.
- Import Figma prototypes you’ve optimized with IAC for improved performance metrics and more intricate testing.
- Save time analyzing results—whether it’s a checklist or a toggle interaction, Maze records any switch between variants so you don’t have to recreate new connections every time..
How to test Figma IAC in Maze 💻
When adding your Figma prototype link to a Mission Block, simply enable the toggle of ‘Interactive Components’. This allows you to analyze all interactions your participants have with each interactive component in your prototype.
You can then set up the expected path—check the screen thumbnails as they will show you the end state of each screen. These end states display how success is measured for your mission, so pay close attention to those.
Analyzing the results of your Mission Block tracking Interactive Components:
When using Interactive Components in your Mission Block, your results in Maze can differentiate between page changes and screen end states to match actions taken by users. A mission will be considered complete when a tester reaches the last screen in the path, as well as the end state of that last screen.
