Answer / sandeep
At application point of view:
Actually, when we allocate the memory dynamically to the
object and some how lose the way to reach that memory is
called memory leakage.
For example: Suppose there is function where in we
allocate the memory dynamically and store it's address in a
pointer that is local to that function. When the control
returns from the function, the local pointer dies and
losing the address of that memory but dynamically allocate
memory would continue to remain allocated yet inaccessible.
This allocated memory is called memory leakage.

A bug in a program that prevents it from freeing up
allocated memory which is no longer needed. As,the program
grabs more and more memory until it finally crashes because
there is no more memory left.

Answer / narendra
If a program is using any variable during its execution,
then the memory allocated for that variable should be
released after every usage of the variable. If the occupied
memory is not released and the same program run several
times then the allocated memory will be filled. So the
program execution will fail at some point since there is no
memory available for the variable.

leakage issue.
why it happens?bcoz using a variableif memory will not free
or released , it will create memory leakage.
there is no chance of memory leakage ,if dynamic memory
allocation occurs.

in stress testing we try with abnormal inputs to test the
stability of our paplication for a long time.
a buffer overflow occurs when a program or process trys to
store more data in a buffer than it was intended to hold.
since buffer are crated to contain a finite amount of
data,the extra information which has to go some where,can
over flow into adjacent buffer.
