That is pretty awesome that you've wrote a such a tool (although I can only imagine how long it took to create such a tool and how it affected the project time frame).
From a web developer's mind: the coll thing is that the tool can be further developed and taken to new directions. For example implement the capability to take snapshots of pages and see if they've changed in layout and notify the user of changes (pretty awesome for scrapping).
I totally agree, unit testing is such a small cog in the wheel of software quality that it is truly a shame how something like this takes all the scene.
