模拟对象。

一个模拟DateTime，返回适合您的测试的Now。

一种简单的方法是注入VirtualTime。它可以让你控制时间。 首先安装VirtualTime

Install-Package VirtualTime

例如，这允许在所有对DateTime的调用上使时间加快5倍。Now或UtcNow

var DateTime = DateTime.Now.ToVirtualTime(5);

放慢时间(如放慢5倍)

var DateTime = DateTime.Now.ToVirtualTime(0.5);

让时间静止

var DateTime = DateTime.Now.ToVirtualTime(0);

回到过去还没有测试过

下面是一个测试示例:

[TestMethod]
public void it_should_make_time_move_faster()
{
    int speedOfTimePerMs = 1000;
    int timeToPassMs = 3000;
    int expectedElapsedVirtualTime = speedOfTimePerMs * timeToPassMs;
    DateTime whenTimeStarts = DateTime.Now;
    ITime time = whenTimeStarts.ToVirtualTime(speedOfTimePerMs);
    Thread.Sleep(timeToPassMs);
    DateTime expectedTime = DateTime.Now.AddMilliseconds(expectedElapsedVirtualTime - timeToPassMs);
    DateTime virtualTime = time.Now;

    Assert.IsTrue(TestHelper.AreEqualWithinMarginOfError(expectedTime, virtualTime, MarginOfErrorMs));
}

你可以在这里查看更多测试:

https://github.com/VirtualTime/VirtualTime/blob/master/VirtualTimeLib.Tests/when_virtual_time_is_used.cs

什么DateTime.Now.ToVirtualTime扩展给你是一个ITime的实例，你传递给一个依赖于ITime的方法/类。一些DateTime.Now.ToVirtualTime被设置在你选择的DI容器中

下面是注入类构造函数的另一个例子

public class AlarmClock
{
    private ITime DateTime;
    public AlarmClock(ITime dateTime, int numberOfHours)
    {
        DateTime = dateTime;
        SetTime = DateTime.UtcNow.AddHours(numberOfHours);
        Task.Run(() =>
        {
            while (!IsAlarmOn)
            {
                IsAlarmOn = (SetTime - DateTime.UtcNow).TotalMilliseconds < 0;
            }
        });
    }
    public DateTime SetTime { get; set; }
    public bool IsAlarmOn { get; set; }
}

[TestMethod]
public void it_can_be_injected_as_a_dependency()
{
    //virtual time has to be 1000*3.75 faster to get to an hour 
    //in 1000 ms real time
    var dateTime = DateTime.Now.ToVirtualTime(1000 * 3.75);
    var numberOfHoursBeforeAlarmSounds = 1;
    var alarmClock = new AlarmClock(dateTime, numberOfHoursBeforeAlarmSounds);
    Assert.IsFalse(alarmClock.IsAlarmOn);
    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
    Assert.IsTrue(alarmClock.IsAlarmOn);
}

关于@crabcrusherclamcollector的回答，在EF查询中使用这种方法时存在问题。NotSupportedException: LINQ to Entities不支持LINQ表达式节点类型“Invoke”。我将实现修改为:

public static class SystemTime
    {
        private static Func<DateTime> UtcNowFunc = () => DateTime.UtcNow;

        public static void SetDateTime(DateTime dateTimeNow)
        {
            UtcNowFunc = () => dateTimeNow;
        }

        public static void ResetDateTime()
        {
            UtcNowFunc = () => DateTime.UtcNow;
        }

        public static DateTime UtcNow
        {
            get
            {
                DateTime now = UtcNowFunc.Invoke();
                return now;
            }
        }
    }

为系统添加一个假程序集(右键单击System reference=>添加假程序集)。

并在测试方法中写入:

using (ShimsContext.Create())
{
   System.Fakes.ShimDateTime.NowGet = () => new DateTime(2014, 3, 10);
   MethodThatUsesDateTimeNow();
}

好的做法是，当DateTimeProvider实现IDisposable时。

public class DateTimeProvider : IDisposable 
{ 
    [ThreadStatic] 
    private static DateTime? _injectedDateTime; 

    private DateTimeProvider() 
    { 
    } 

    /// <summary> 
    /// Gets DateTime now. 
    /// </summary> 
    /// <value> 
    /// The DateTime now. 
    /// </value> 
    public static DateTime Now 
    { 
        get 
        { 
            return _injectedDateTime ?? DateTime.Now; 
        } 
    } 

    /// <summary> 
    /// Injects the actual date time. 
    /// </summary> 
    /// <param name="actualDateTime">The actual date time.</param> 
    public static IDisposable InjectActualDateTime(DateTime actualDateTime) 
    { 
        _injectedDateTime = actualDateTime; 

        return new DateTimeProvider(); 
    } 

    public void Dispose() 
    { 
        _injectedDateTime = null; 
    } 
} 

接下来，您可以为单元测试注入假DateTime

    using (var date = DateTimeProvider.InjectActualDateTime(expectedDateTime)) 
    { 
        var bankAccount = new BankAccount(); 

        bankAccount.DepositMoney(600); 

        var lastTransaction = bankAccount.Transactions.Last(); 

        Assert.IsTrue(expectedDateTime.Equals(bankAccount.Transactions[0].TransactionDate)); 
    } 

参见示例DateTimeProvider示例

以下是我对这个问题的回答。我将“环境上下文”模式与IDisposable结合起来。你可以使用DateTimeProvider。当前在您的正常程序代码和测试中，您使用using语句覆盖范围。

using System;
using System.Collections.Immutable;


namespace ambientcontext {

public abstract class DateTimeProvider : IDisposable
{
    private static ImmutableStack<DateTimeProvider> stack = ImmutableStack<DateTimeProvider>.Empty.Push(new DefaultDateTimeProvider());

    protected DateTimeProvider()
    {
        if (this.GetType() != typeof(DefaultDateTimeProvider))
            stack = stack.Push(this);
    }

    public static DateTimeProvider Current => stack.Peek();
    public abstract DateTime Today { get; }
    public abstract DateTime Now {get; }

    public void Dispose()
    {
        if (this.GetType() != typeof(DefaultDateTimeProvider))
            stack = stack.Pop();
    }

    // Not visible Default Implementation 
    private class DefaultDateTimeProvider : DateTimeProvider {
        public override DateTime Today => DateTime.Today; 
        public override DateTime Now => DateTime.Now; 
    }
}
}

下面是如何在单元测试中使用上述DateTimeProvider

using System;
using Xunit;

namespace ambientcontext
{
    public class TestDateTimeProvider
    {
        [Fact]
        public void TestDateTime()
        {
            var actual = DateTimeProvider.Current.Today;
            var expected = DateTime.Today;

            Assert.Equal<DateTime>(expected, actual);

            using (new MyDateTimeProvider(new DateTime(2012,12,21)))
            {
                Assert.Equal(2012, DateTimeProvider.Current.Today.Year);

                using (new MyDateTimeProvider(new DateTime(1984,4,4)))
                {
                    Assert.Equal(1984, DateTimeProvider.Current.Today.Year);    
                }

                Assert.Equal(2012, DateTimeProvider.Current.Today.Year);
            }

            // Fall-Back to Default DateTimeProvider 
            Assert.Equal<int>(expected.Year,  DateTimeProvider.Current.Today.Year);
        }

        private class MyDateTimeProvider : DateTimeProvider 
        {
            private readonly DateTime dateTime; 

            public MyDateTimeProvider(DateTime dateTime):base()
            {
                this.dateTime = dateTime; 
            }

            public override DateTime Today => this.dateTime.Date;

            public override DateTime Now => this.dateTime;
        }
    }
}
