What is Memory Leak? How to test "Memory Leak" problem in
an application manually?

Answer Posted / swaroop kumar

Memory leak is the defect found only thru the very long
hours of load testing.
It is found when in the Application server log memory.out
messages are displayed,that means garbage collection is not
happening.
Garbage collection(GC) is nothing but once any component of
application uses the memory GC frees that memory, if this
doesn't happen then transaction time is more b/w the
transactions and there is no free space left in the memory
resulting in the memory leak.
