Klock has utilities for providing time and there are some integrations for testing.
TimeProvider
Sometimes you will need a source of time that can be mocked. Klock includes a TimeProvider interface with a default implementation using DateTime.
Testing & Kotest
Kotest is a flexible and comprehensive testing tool for Kotlin with multiplatform support. It supports Klock adding additional matchers. For a full list of Klock Kotest matchers, check this link: https://github.com/kotest/kotest/blob/master/doc/matchers.md
