I suggest, that you make a unit test based on your cron expression. With kudos to Van de Voorde Toni, you can base it on this code, and use it to verify that the "nextValidTimeAfter" matches your expectation:

import java.text.ParseException;
import java.util.Date;

import org.quartz.CronExpression;

public class CronTester {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException {
        final String expression = "* * 17 0 0/2 *,SUN,MON";
        final CronExpression cronExpression = new CronExpression(expression);

        final Date nextValidDate1 = cronExpression.getNextValidTimeAfter(new Date());
        final Date nextValidDate2 = cronExpression.getNextValidTimeAfter(nextValidDate1);

        System.out.println(nextValidDate1);
        System.out.println(nextValidDate2);

    }
}
