Testeo y Handoff en Figma

Effective design documentation is the key to transforming a creative vision into a successful digital product. A well-structured handoff not only facilitates communication between designers and developers, but also ensures accuracy in implementation and significantly reduces development time.

How to export assets effectively in Figma?

Exporting visual assets requires a clear understanding of the context and the specific needs of the project. The most commonly used formats are PNG, SVG and PDF, each for different purposes:

What is the process for exporting icons?

• Select the desired icon in the design panel.
• Access the export tab in the right panel.
• Set multiple scales (1x, 2x, 3x) in PNG format.
• Add an additional SVG version for more flexibility.

What are the considerations for images?

• For images with pixels (photographs, avatars) use PNG or JPG.
• Maintain different scales to ensure sharpness on different screens.
• Consider PDF as an alternative according to project requirements.

How to document user flows effectively?

Flow documentation requires a clear and organized structure that facilitates the understanding of the development team:

What elements should the documentation include?

• Flow name and detailed description of the objective.
• Interactive prototype showing how it works.
• Screen organization from left to right.
• Happy Path clearly identified.
• Variants and alternative cases at secondary levels.

What information should each screen contain?

• Primary purpose of the screen.
• Primary and secondary actions.
• Navigation details and animations.
• Technical limitations and special considerations.
• Adaptive design specifications.

How to maintain visual consistency across platforms.

Implementing style guides is critical when working with different operating systems:

• Documenting specific color scheme changes.
• Specify typography modifications.
• Detail adaptations to Material Design and iOS Kit.
• Keeping track of custom components.

Detailed and accurate documentation is essential to the success of any digital project. Your contribution is valuable to the community. Share in the comments how you structure your documentation and what elements you consider essential for an effective handoff.
