This paper presents the beam test results of the first four double-sided silicon strip modules built for the inner tracker of ALICE detector. The basic detector performance was studied with the focus made on the efficiency and spatial resolution determination. A fast method for the determination of the spatial resolution of the sensors in the telescope is described.
