How TimeShiftX creates virtual dates and what it changes—or leaves untouched.

TimeShiftX is a date simulation software that lets you time travel applications and databases into the future or past for temporal testing of all date and time sensitive functionality.

TimeShiftX creates virtual clocks for user-defined processes to simulate time travel for testing purposes while keeping your system, virtual machine, container, or pod in the present time. Your root system and server security protocols remain completely untouched.

TimeShiftX lets you time travel test inside of Active Directory & Kerberos without changing system clocks, editing code, or isolating servers, thus saving you substantial cost, time, and resources while avoiding destroyed backups and server tattooing.

Virtual clocks can run in the future or past, remain frozen at a specific instant, or operate at an accelerated (e.g., 10x) or decelerated speed to simulate an entire business day in a fraction of the time.

No. Applications do not need to be edited, recompiled, refactored, or redeployed. TimeShiftX employs a non-intrusive virtualization container that wraps software at the user-space level.

Environment & Security

Environment & Security

How virtual time containers protect operating systems, Active Directory, and server integrity.

No. The underlying system clock remains current. Only the applications and databases selected for a virtual-time container experience the shifted date.

Yes. Because the server clock and security tokens remain current, TimeShiftX supports temporal testing inside domain-authenticated environments without the 5-minute clock skew that normally disconnects servers from the domain.

No. Internal system files remain on the real system time. This avoids incorrect timestamps that can disrupt backups, scheduled batch jobs, logging, and core operating system functions.

No. Virtual dates are temporary and apply only to the designated user application space. Teams can turn virtual time off without rebuilding, restoring, or rebooting the environment.

No. TimeShiftX provides completely secure time travel as no outside network calls are performed.

Testing & Automation

Testing & Automation

Using TimeShiftX in distributed systems, CI/CD pipelines, and QA automation.

Yes. TimeShiftX can synchronize virtual clocks across distributed App, Database, and Web tiers so an entire multi-tier environment experiences the same test time concurrently from a single action.

Yes. Multiple virtual-time containers can run simultaneously across your servers, allowing parallel teams or scenarios to use separate test dates from a single TimeShiftX license.

Yes. Teams have granular control to configure a container to wrap all processes or selectively include and exclude individual applications and databases.

Yes. Its system commands can be driven from PowerShell, batch scripts, GUI automation suites, Selenium, Jenkins, HP QTP, IBM Rational, Puppet, Chef, and homegrown test frameworks.

Yes. TimeShiftX allows easy large-scale date shifting of database timestamps across thousands to millions of records in DB2, Oracle Database, SQL Server, and other relational databases.
