Add links and code example of a testing seam for DateTime.
I've called this systemTime in the past.
Here's a possible implementation
using System;
namespace Shared.Core.Implementations
{
///
/// Testable alternative to DateTime.Now or DateTimeOffset.Now
///
public static class SystemTime
{
private static DateTime? _dateTimeHolder = null;
/// <summary>
/// Gets the current local DateTimeOffset
/// </summary>
public static DateTime Now => _dateTimeHolder ?? DateTime.Now;
/// <summary>
/// Allow overriding the time for testing
/// </summary>
/// <param name="fakeDateTime"></param>
public static void SetNow(DateTime fakeDateTime)
{
_dateTimeHolder = fakeDateTime;
}
public static void ResetNow()
{
_dateTimeHolder = null;
}
private static DateTimeOffset? _offsetHolder = null;
/// <summary>
/// Gets the current local DateTimeOffset
/// </summary>
public static DateTimeOffset NowOffset => _offsetHolder ?? DateTimeOffset.Now;
/// <summary>
/// Allow overriding the time for testing
/// </summary>
/// <param name="fakeDateTimeOffset"></param>
public static void SetNowOffset(DateTimeOffset fakeDateTimeOffset)
{
_offsetHolder = fakeDateTimeOffset;
}
public static void ResetOffsetNow()
{
_offsetHolder = null;
}
}
}

Here's another option:
public class SystemTime
{
protected static Func localNow = () => DateTime.Now;
public static DateTime Now
{
get => localNow();
protected set { localNow = () => value; }
}
}
public class TestingSystemTime : SystemTime
{
public static DateTime StartForTest()
{
Now = DateTime.Now;
return Now;
}
public static DateTime Reset()
{
localNow = () => DateTime.Now;
return localNow();
}
public static DateTime AddMinutes(int mins)
{
Now = Now.AddMinutes(mins);
return Now;
}
public static DateTime AddHours(int hours)
{
Now = Now.AddHours(hours);
return Now;
}
}
