I believe the test case is for reversing a string
1.What happens if string is null
2.what if string has same characters
3.what if string is a palidrome.
4.what is the longest length of the string func can accept.
5.can this reverse integers?
6.If it fails due to some reason how does it cope up?
7.what if the end of string is not terminated by NULL character ?

I don't believe that this test is only aimed to reverse 'ABC'.

'ABC' is one example and what we need to think about is how to test reverseString function itself, right??
