When should I use a first-click test?

The first-click test shows a respondent one screen of your Figma prototype and asks where they would click to do something. It answers a single question: when someone wants to get this done, do they reach for the spot you intended.

When to reach for it

Reach for this when you have a Figma prototype and you want to check whether people find the right spot on a given screen. If you only have a static image, a screenshot, or a mockup that is not in Figma, use the Image click test instead. If you want to see where attention lands across an image rather than whether people can find one target, use the Hotspot heatmap. And if you want respondents to work through a whole live prototype rather than click once, use Live prototype.

Good to know

You write the task and point the block at a screen in your prototype. Results group clicks by Figma element and show each session’s clicked element and time to click. Word the task around what the person is trying to do, not the button label, so you are testing findability rather than reading. The Figma link needs to be a share-prototype link that anyone can view, which is configured in the editor.
