Information of the world and national economies significantly alter the role and importance of expertise in enterprise activity. Expert evaluation of the quality of modern innovative software products is playing an increasingly important role in the justification of management decisions with their use. That is why the expert function is one of the most important and recognized not only in science but also in the practical production and business operations of many businesses. The article shows the possibility of adapting method unit testing as a tool for peer evaluation of the quality level of the development of innovative software products. The article covers application of criteria for coverage decisions and conditions, as well as a criterion of combinatorial coverage for the most complete set of tests and accurate expert assessments. The substantiation of the existence and validity of the use of the method of unit testing capabilities for expert assessments of innovative software products was also given. We have described the sequence of process of peer review for incremental (step by step), and non-incremental approach to testing of modern innovative software products, as well as identifying their strengths and weaknesses. It is concluded that the incremental approach is preferable to use the method of unit testing for the expert assessments of projects and programs for the creation of innovative products, services and technologies
