Stress Test (Beta)

Designers design for the happy path — short, perfectly wrapped text. But what happens when that button gets translated to German? What happens if a username is 3× longer than expected?

The Stress Test module simulates real-world edge cases without touching your original components.

How it Works

1. Select a component or frame on the canvas.
2. Click "Run Stress Test" — the plugin creates a dedicated sandbox page and clones your component into labeled scenario columns.
3. Simulate — each column applies a different stress scenario to the clone.
4. Detect — the plugin scans the clones for TEXT_OVERFLOW, CLIPPING, and LAYOUT_BREAK issues with confidence levels.
5. Review — inspect the columns on the sandbox page, then clear when done.

Your original design is never modified.

Built-in Scenarios

Without any AI connection, the module runs heuristic scenarios:

• 3× Text — multiplies all text content to simulate long user-generated strings
• Narrow Viewport — forces the component into a constrained width
• Empty State — clears text to test minimum-content layouts
• All Caps — simulates uppercase label transforms

AI-Enhanced Scenarios (BYOK)

Connect an AI provider in Settings to unlock content-aware scenario generation. Instead of generic text repetition, the AI analyzes the semantic purpose of your component and generates realistic edge cases:

• If it's a user profile card: edge-case real names (long surnames, CJK characters, emojis)
• If it's a price tag: large numbers, currency symbol variations, locale formatting
• If it's a notification banner: legally mandated disclosure text, multi-line alerts

Supported AI providers:

AI scenarios are cached per component. Re-running the stress test on the same component reuses cached scenarios — no extra API calls.

Fix Simulation

When an issue is detected on a clone, click Simulate Fix. The plugin attempts structural corrections (adjusting text wrapping, changing Auto Layout sizing modes, adding truncation) and reports the outcome:

Review outcomes in the sandbox before deciding to apply the fix to your original master component.

Dev Mode

The Stress Test module is blocked in Figma Dev Mode — cloning and page creation require write access, which Dev Mode does not grant.
