    Hi Phani,



    Try following standard recommendations to decrease the risk of encountering memory problems during HTTP load testing:


    1. If your Load Testing task is big, split it into several smaller tasks. For example, record logging in, doing some work and logging out as three separate tasks.

    2. Put every TestInstance run in an individual test item of your project. When the execution of a test item is completed, its test log is saved to the disk and unloaded from memory. For details, please see the "Specifying Execution Order for Tests" TestComplete 5 help topic.

    3. Block some unnecessary messages from being posted to the test log. For example, you can block the messages that are posted for every successful request. To block such messages, you need to handle the OnLogMessage event. To learn how to do this using the event, refer to the "OnLogMessage Event" TestComplete 5 help topic and to the related ones.


    BTW, SmartBear Software released a new tool created for HTTP load testing, LoadComplete. You can try it out for free.
