Technical solutions are directed to creation and deployment of multi-stage test problems. A processor can provide, to a client, a first data structure for a first stage of a multi-stage test problem including a description for generation of a client solution for the first stage and a test case to evaluate the client solution. The processor can receive, from the client, a client data structure comprising the client solution including a client computer code generated at the client for the first stage. The processor can determine, by evaluating the client solution using an input value and an output value of the test case, that the output of the client solution satisfies a validity condition of the output value. The processor can provide, to the client, based on satisfying the validity condition, a second data structures for a second stage of the multi-stage test problem.
