Controlling DateTime is a solution, but it smells of violating encapsulation, you are affecting objects from outside of their boundaries (and indeed system wide) In your experience what is the best way to deal with Dates in TDD?

    Using QUnit To Unit Test PhoneGap/Cordova Applications

    As the state of hybrid web development matures, developers are looking to bring their tools and techniques from more "traditional" development to this new medium. One of these techniques, unit testing, can be a bit tricky to setup in PhoneGap/Cordova applications. In this article, we'll look at how to build a test suite for a hybrid app with QUnit - a popular and easy to use unit testing library. We'll look at not only how to build and run tests, but also how to automate them as well.
