The review should initially focus on what you made explaining what you were asked to do by your client and how you did it.

It is very important that your test plan checks that your game meets the original requirements of the client brief.

Testing

The text plan must include details on what you expect to happen when you test each item and what actually happens in each case.

The testing should also identify any improvements that you can make with re-tests must be carried out on anything that didn’t work.

The final section of your review links together the two previous ones by identifying improvements that could be made.

Improvements

The first part should state what you could improve immediately to make the game better with an explanation of how it would make it better.

The second part should say what you would change in future again saying how each would improve the game.

Your test plan and review may both suggest improvements for this part.
