In the article the research of modern testing strategies was carried out, it was made the classification according to the levels of possible product testing from the moment of its development to the moment of production, the techniques inherent to each level were described, the advantages and disadvantages of each of them were analyzed. The object of the research of this article are the methods of testing software product, accompanying it from the start of development to release to market. The goal of the work is to study and modernize present-day strategies and tactics of testing, to classify testing methods, to analyze their advantages and disadvantages, and also to derive strategy that allows for the most complete testing in a short time and to eliminate possible errors in the software under test.
