Can I test Figma prototypes directly in Fred?

Yes. You can share a Figma prototype link in Fred and run usability, first-click, or task-based tests directly against it without any additional tooling.

What types of usability tests does Fred support?

Fred supports first-click testing, task-based usability tests, open-ended prototype walkthroughs, and preference testing — all within one project workspace.

How do I share test results with my PM or engineering team?

Share a report link that includes findings, evidence clips, and participant context. Recipients don't need a Fred account to inspect the results.

Can I compare two design variants side by side?

Yes. You can run tests for multiple variants in the same project and compare findings side by side to make evidence-based design decisions.

For Product Designers

Product Designer

Validate design decisions before they reach engineering — with evidence you can show in any review.

Prototype and usability testing in one flow
Evidence linked to tasks and user segments
Review-ready reports for design critiques

Start 15-day trial See design workflow

Fred dashboard — track usability test results and prototype validation in one view — Fred keeps the evidence trail visible from planning through decision handoff.

Validation cycle

Continuous

Run iterative checks from early concept to refined flows.

Decision quality

Evidence-based

Findings are linked to user behavior and task context.

Team handoff

Clear

Reports keep source evidence available for implementation teams.

Role workflow

Why Product Designer teams choose Fred

Fred helps product designers validate choices with user evidence that can be inspected, shared, and reused across iterations.

Run prototype validation and usability workflows without tool switching.

Attach findings to task context so design critiques stay objective.

Deliver reports that PM and engineering can validate directly.

Where momentum breaks

Why design decisions get challenged

Design teams lose momentum when findings are disconnected from real user behavior.

Design decisions based on preferences, not proof

Without test data, design reviews become debates. The loudest voice wins.

Iteration cycles drag because evidence is missing

Rebuilding the case for each design change slows down every sprint.

Handoffs lack the 'why'

Engineering and PM often don't understand the evidence behind design decisions — which leads to rework.

Fred study builder used to structure research tasks — Objective, task, and participant context stay connected from the start.

What Fred changes

How Fred supports designers

Fred connects studies, evidence, and reporting so design decisions stay grounded.

01 / Prototype and usability testing in one flow

Upload prototypes or share links. Run first-click, task-based, or open-ended testing without switching tools.

02 / Evidence tied to specific design tasks

Every participant response is mapped to the task it came from — not dumped in a spreadsheet.

03 / Review-ready outputs for any audience

Export clips and findings into stakeholder reports that PMs and engineers can verify directly.

Outcomes

Designer outcomes

Practical gains for teams shipping product interfaces quickly.

Faster validation cycles

Move from concept to validated direction without jumping across tools.

Higher review confidence

Bring evidence-backed rationale to critiques and roadmap syncs.

Better collaboration

Keep designers, PMs, and researchers aligned on a shared evidence base.

Reusable insights

Reuse prior findings for future iterations instead of restarting discovery.

Fred insight detail view with structured research findings — Reports keep recommendations close to the evidence behind them.

Workflow

How it works

A design-focused research flow in four steps.

1
Scope the design question
Define what decision this study should unlock and which audience matters most.
2
Launch prototype tests
Run usability, first-click, and preference tests from the same project space.
3
Review linked findings
Analyze friction points and evidence links directly from session outputs.
4
Share with stakeholders
Publish a report that keeps each recommendation connected to its proof.

Fred workspace with tagged research evidence — Patterns stay searchable and reusable across studies.

Decision proof

Evidence that survives the meeting.

The page narrative is built around claims a team can inspect, share, and reuse without rebuilding context.

Design recommendations stay tied to observed behavior.
Task-level findings and responses remain linked for review discussions.
Proof point 1

Prototype testing and reporting are connected.
Outputs can be shared without recreating context in external decks.
Proof point 2

Cross-functional teams can inspect the same evidence.
Design, product, and engineering align around one evidence model.
Proof point 3

Fit

When this workflow is the right call.

Fred works best when the team needs research evidence to stay operational beyond the original study.

Choose Fred when

Design reviews need stronger evidence, not just opinion summaries.
You iterate frequently and need reusable insight history.
Design and product teams need a shared source of truth.

Not ideal if

You only need static mockup feedback collection.
Your team does not use research evidence in decision forums.
