I am a developer and designed a plugin for a Figma. Do we have any tool to run the QA automation tests on the plugin before releasing to production
Hello @Manoj_Venkata, Thank you for reaching out about this!
I have relocated your topic to the Plugin and Widget API category, where you can engage with other developers who might offer insights.
I will reach out to our team internally to explore if we can offer any assistance. We will keep you informed once we have any updates.
We also appreciate any input or suggestions from other community members!
Thank you.
Thanks for the question. Unfortunately, we don’t have any special tooling to help test plugins. This isn’t an uncommon request from our developer community, so it’s definitely on our minds.

Hi all,
I wanted to chime in on this discussion.
I’ve recently attempted to test our published plugins’ UI using Cypress. However, given they operate within Iframes, manipulating them proved to be almost impossible (same origin policy).
After some research, I’ve managed to find a workaround: Figma Desktop automation with python (pywinauto + pytest) allows me load my plugin from manifest.json and manipulate its Iframe structure, and that is what we are working with atm.
I believe having a dedicated tool or framework specifically tailored for testing Figma plugins would greatly benefit developers, streamlining the process of identifying and addressing potential issues before releasing to production. It would not only enhance the overall quality of plugins but also contribute to a more robust ecosystem for Figma users.
I’m eager to hear any updates or insights from the community or the Figma team regarding potential solutions or improvements in this area
