    - We understand this is not a simply "Rejected" case but it is not something to be in placed very quick. Some suggestion has bring out in the call for how to minimize manual effort:
    - Can automatically generate the input / output interface based on input program, to allow users to input the copybook value field by field (similar with what the EST is doing now)
    - The testing driver program can be generated by these interface. Save user's effort to code a list of "MOVE" statement to the input fields.
    - Memorize the user input and auto fill-up previously value such that users no need to fill-up from scratch when they need to amend a test case.
