True, but some of the most time-consuming tasks that a developer has to do
have nothing to do with writing lines of code.  Any tool that helps a
developer manage the myriads of data sets, DB2 tables etc required in a
complex test environment, provides a major time savings.  The developer can
use this time to perform more test cycles, which should result in a better
product.
