I'm facing a challenge that I believe many of us encounter in complex SaaS projects, and I'd love to hear your thoughts and solutions.
The Challenge
I'm working on large-scale SaaS prototypes in Figma, and I've noticed a recurring issue: whenever I add new modules or features to a stable, functioning prototype, it often breaks core functionality. This creates a frustrating cycle of fixes and introduces unexpected behavior in previously stable areas.
Questions for the Community
- How do you structure your prototypes to make them more modular and resistant to breaking when adding new features?
- What are your best practices for testing new additions before integrating them into the main prototype?
- Do you maintain separate prototype versions for different feature sets?
- How do you handle version control in complex prototypes?
What I've Tried So Far
- Creating backup copies before adding new features
Would love to hear your experiences and solutions! Has anyone found effective ways to maintain prototype stability while continuously iterating and adding features?
