Question: What is memory leakage and how can we find out in load runner?

Answer: A memory leak is a particular type of unintentional memory consumption by a computer program where the program fails to release memory when no longer needed. This condition is normally the result of a bug in a program that prevents it from freeing up memory that it no longer needs.This term has the potential to be confusing, since memory is not physically lost from the computer. Rather, memory is allocated to a program, and that program subsequently loses the ability to access it due to program logic flaws.

In Load runner, every application has a processor running in the system. The processor needs to be identified. Using the performance tab we can check the memory consumption of the processor. Continuous tracking needs to be done while load testing. However, if the memory keeps increasing even on stopping the test, a memory may have occurred. Also, if the memory is not released on stopping the test, a memory may have occurred.
