1. The document discusses various techniques for testing functions in Go that depend on the time.Now() function, including overriding time.Now(), using a fake clock interface, and monkey patching.
2. It provides examples of overriding time.Now() directly, using a fakeclock.FakeClock type from the clock package to inject a test clock, and monkey patching time.Now() using the monkey package.
3. The techniques allow isolating tests by faking the system time so time-dependent code returns predictable outputs for different test cases.
