The First Step to Better Design QA: How to Use BridgeQA

Design QA is one of the most important—and most frustrating—parts of shipping a product. Just when a project feels ready, you find yourself juggling screenshots, Slack threads, and endless back-and-forth between Figma and browser tabs.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

That’s why we built BridgeQA: a Chrome extension that brings design QA directly into your browser. No more screenshot chaos, no more scattered feedback. Just one place for your team to compare, comment, and track fixes.

In this article, we’ll walk you through how BridgeQA works and how you can use it to streamline your design QA workflow.

Step 1: Overlay your Figma frame

Start by pasting a Figma frame link into BridgeQA. The extension overlays the frame directly onto your live site so you can compare design and build side by side.

With the control panel, you can:

• Adjust opacity to see how the build matches the design.
• Move and align the frame precisely.
• Scale or crop the overlay for responsive layouts.
• Switch between multiple frames (great for mobile, tablet, and desktop breakpoints).

This makes it easy to catch spacing, typography, or alignment issues early—without switching back and forth between tools.

Step 2: Comment where issues live

Instead of dropping screenshots into Figma or docs, you can leave feedback right on the page.

Here’s how it works:

• Drag to capture a region of the site.
• Add a note with context.
• Set a priority (Low, Medium, High, or Urgent).

Every comment stays tied to the frame, so you’re always reviewing in context. You can even reply to comments, resolve them when fixed, and export summaries when needed.

Step 3: Track progress with to-do / done

One of the biggest frustrations in design QA is repeating the same feedback in every cycle. With BridgeQA, that’s no longer necessary.

Each comment can be marked as To-do or Done, creating a lightweight task tracker inside the extension. Developers can sort by priority, pick off the most urgent fixes first, and everyone stays aligned on what’s left to do.

Step 4: Collaborate with your team

Collaboration is simple because BridgeQA respects Figma’s permissions. If someone has access to the frame in Figma and connects it through the extension, they’ll see the same comments as everyone else.

That way, your whole team can participate in reviews without losing track of context.

Why this matters

Good design QA isn’t just about finding bugs. It’s about keeping teams aligned and avoiding wasted time.

With BridgeQA, you:

• Reduce back-and-forth between Figma, browsers, and docs.
• Keep all feedback in one place, directly on the live site.
• Save hours during review cycles by never repeating the same comment twice.

The result? A faster, more efficient workflow that helps designers, developers, and PMs ship with confidence.
