• Test levels (created both independently and by members of the Level Design Team) in various editors to determine the correspondence of complexity, mechanics, duration of playthrough, and other parameters of the level in project documentation;
• Test levels in various editors to determine the compliance of difficulty, mechanics, duration of playthrough, and other parameters of the level in project documentation before final delivery.
