You can use an Android toolkit to minimize the time taken in doing regular tasks like taking ADB logcat, screenshots, installing and uninstalling apps, taking backups and restore them, rebooting into various Android modes, etc… You can do them all just by a button click or with simple GUI.

I frequently play with my Android devices and usually use an Android toolkit. So, I’ve tried it on PC (haven’t tested on Linux or Mac) and it’s doing a pretty good job and works as advertised. Most of the features in the Droid PC Suite work as expected but I couldn’t get some of them to function properly. Basic functions like app manager, file manager, build.prop editor, screenshots/screen recorder, performance stats, reboot menu, and backup/restore worked flawlessly. However, I couldn’t get the bypass security option to work on any of my devices. But that’s an experimental feature, and it’s not a big deal to me.
