DateTime is nondeterministic - make DateTime testable

How do you make DateTime testable in .NET? Once you use DateTime.UtcNow in the body of a method and you did not pass it as a parameter you no longer have control over DateTime.

In order to gain control you should wrap DateTime.UtcNow inside an implementation of an interface.

public interface IUtcDateTime
{
   DateTime UtcNow { get;  }
}

public class UtcDateTime : IUtcDateTime
{
    public DateTime UtcNow { get; } => DateTime.UtcNow;
}

Now you can let IUtcDateTime be injected by your Depency Injection framework of your choice and write unit tests. An additional benefit is that you are sure that the right usage of DateTime is used. In larger projects it becomes harder to spot mistakes like DateTime.Now vs DateTime.UtcNow.

Do not use a singleton instance of a wrapped DateTime instance since it is scoped globally. Every change you make to the singleton instance has an unpredictable outcome further down in your code.
