A method, apparatus, and computer program product are disclosed to generate elementary string sets for unit testing regular expressions. In the context of a method, a regular expression is received. The method also creates a deterministic finite automaton based on the regular expression. In addition, the method generates an elementary string set using the deterministic finite automaton. The elementary string is generated to test software that uses the regular expression.
