Answer / dev

Improper use of memory is called memory leak (Carbage
collection).
We can find out the memory leak by using Long Duration
Testing and spike testing.
Long Duration Testing:
This test is performed with constant minimal amount of load
for long duration. By taking a snapshot of memory we can
find out where the memory is going high.

Answer / mfsi_krushnas

A memory leak is the gradual loss of available computer
memory when a program (an application or part of the
operating system) repeatedly fails to return memory that it
has obtained for temporary use. As a result, the available
memory for that application or that part of the operating
system becomes exhausted and the program can no longer
function.
