Preparing audit tools
Proper tools streamline the design audit process and ensure consistent evaluation. Essential audit tools include:
- Documentation platforms: Figma, Notion, or Confluence for recording findings systematically
- Screen recording tools: Loom or ScreenStudio for capturing interaction issues
- Analytics tools: Hotjar or Google Analytics for understanding user behavior patterns
- Accessibility checkers: WAVE, Stark, or Axe for testing WCAG compliance
- Version control: Abstract or Figma version history to track design evolution
- Collaboration tools: Miro or FigJam for team analysis sessions
Selecting the right tools helps maintain audit quality while making the process more efficient and collaborative.
