Create a GregorianCalendar with the expect value and compare them. I'd use SimpleDateFormat and the setTime method.

GregorianCalendar expected = new GregorianCalendar();
expected.setTime(new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm").parse("2007-08-01 14:40"));

SystemUnderTest subject = SystemUnderTest();

assertEquals(expected, subject.method());

You could for example compare the string reprensetations.

I'd calculate the use both 'textual' and their equivalent millisecond values for my test input and compare those milliseconds as expected values with the values that I get with the Calendar#getTimeInMillis.
