/// <summary>
/// This is unit test class for testing the InitView method of <see cref="CurrentTimePresenter" />.
/// In reality, unit tests should be in there own ".Tests" assembly for ease of testing 
/// and so that the unit tests do not get deployed with the project.  This unit test 
/// has been included in the same project for illustrative purpuses.
