Interface MockTicker

All Superinterfaces:
Ticker
public interface MockTicker extends Ticker
A fake Ticker that allows the caller control the flow of time. This can be useful when you test time-sensitive logic without waiting for too long or introducing flakiness due to non-deterministic nature of system clock.
