Test strategy document

A document that identifies the organization and structurefor the strategy, tasks, and xxxiin to be used during test development andexecution.

Contains

The overall testing approach for the application-under-testincluding stages of testing, completion criteria, and general testingtechniques..

Level

Astrategy used to project test more likely to find  errors made in thefirst place, more likely to expose errors so they are more obvious if they?remade, or more likely  to detect them errors that will be made, because every program path can not be tested


Also the strategy document depends on what it  is related to if it is software testing all the above implements
If same you consider the business ,project mangament and  marketing level the strategy differs here.

test strategy is defined by the QA manager in the Test Paln of  a particualr Project.  In that project if we are using Balck Box testing techniques.  In Black Box Testing ther are five types of  strategy like

a) Error Guessing

b) Equicvelence Class

c) Cause Effect Graph matrix

d) Boundary Value Analysis

from those strategies tester can select one of them accoridng to the project limitation or time limitation.

test strategy is a document which gives us a plan from start to finish.

Test strategy  has scope, approach, schedule, test items, features to be tested/not tested, tasks and contengencies. scope is the testing portion,approach is the method of conducting the test, schedule has starting and ending period of time, test items should match requirements. contingencies is the backup plans. 

I think it is the project level document and depends upon the organization and project.

test strategy can be created in designing phase. management get to know what to expect from testing. Till 2000, test strategy used to be a different document, now it has become a part of the test plan.

hai,
Test strategy:: it is exact or good approach to get the good quality of testing on a product or application.Thus, testing strategy is divided into five main parts namely:scope and objectives,business issues,approach,roles and responsibilities and status reporting and communication modes
in detail:
scope and objective: this gives the information about the objective and limitations of the functions.
business issues: this defines the % of allocation of the resoures between developers and test engineers.
approach: this is way how to approach (where and when in the sense how also )
roles and responsibilities: this in clear states the roles and responsibilities of the test engineer and test team to submit the information in time to the tech lead of the team.
status reporting and communication modes: this regular happens in the software field with  the clients and higher authorities.such that whichproject is in which state and how soon we are going to complete

Test strategy mainly contains the approach that would be followed in testing. It is a part of a Test Plan and it specify the type of testing that is to be followed for the Application for e.g. in Test Strategy, it is decided whether database testing or UI testing is required or if automated testing is required. Test Strategy also decides 'How this will be Tested' ... ' Is regression testing or component level testing is required.

So, Test Strategy describes the way or the method that is to be in testing the Application.
