Memory requirement increases with each Test run

Hello,

 

I fail to understand, why I require more and more memory with each test-run. I thought it could be due to memory leak in my modules. Checked each module but found no such leak.

 

Then I tried to simulate this issue by writing a sequence file with 1 statement (x = 2 + 2) i.e. no calling of module. The result was:

The change in memory is less after 2nd test run but it is there.

What can I do to prevent increase in memory after each test run? When I have a work space with dozens of sequence files attached with few dozens of modules, this effect is significant.

 

Please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Regards.

Hi,

 

the results of every step are stored in memory until the report is generated.

So you could activate "on-the-fly" reporting to write the results in the report while testing. This will decrease the memory usage but also decrease the calculation power the CPU has for the Steps and the Modules.

 

Best wishes
