Very nice overview. I very much agree that all these techniques are very useful. But one thing still bothers me. How does one test with a notion of time? How do you test a cron or a calendar with alarm function?

Yeah, those are the hard ones. Worse, time is the essence of a good amount of issues from performance, to startup stabilization to the deadliest of all errors: the race condition.
