One small suggestion: Choose test data that gives you as much
information as possible about any errors.  Given "Alla", if your program
prints 'A' you can't easily tell whether that's the first letter or the
last one mapped to upper case; if it prints 'L' you can't be sure
whether it's the second or third letter.  "Abcd" could make debugging a
bit easier.  (Of course you'll also want to make sure your code works
with multiple occurrences of the same letter.)
