title: Using Time in jUnit
body: <p>Over here I want to make a jUnit test case by simulating something called an Appointment. But the thing is, I can't use the datatype Time in my test case so to make the object. For example I've heard that it's possible to parse the Time in a String for a test case. Is this possible? If so, is it necessary with what I want to achieve with this test case?
   Any help would be gladly appreciated!</p>
  
  <p>Here is the code:</p>
  
  <p>Appointment.java</p>
