One way of testing/verifying concurrent programs is to build a model of the program, and then see if the model satisfies certain properties. This is fairly tedious and does not scale very well. However, while it wont prove anything, it can be useful to build some kind of model; it can often point out some flaws in the design that you missed.

All in all, I think its sort of like a programmer learning the basics of discrete math. You're not actually learning how to program but it can change the way you think. Obviously, if you go to deep (which perhaps CSP is) you might get a bit off track.
