How do you handle a test case when the test data created with an AGE field becomes invalid since the date of the system changes over time? For example, a person who could be a < 18 years old last month is now > 18 years and the whole scenario fails? Do you keep updating the test data or is there another creative solution here (besides changing the system date & time which can't be done as it is an Internet app)?
