Load Testing · Middle · Question 40 of 76
In a soak test, memory grows steadily and GC pauses get longer. What does it suggest?
- 1A healthy cache that warms up over time
- 2The load is too low to show real behaviour
- 3A memory leak: objects are kept and never freed
Show the answer
Correct answer: A memory leak: objects are kept and never freed
Explanation
A healthy app plateaus after warm-up. Constant growth leads to longer GC, slower requests and finally out-of-memory crashes.
