Why my APP's memory usage Continuously rising when TestComplete is searching for/operating items?

I am testing a Delphi+CEF App. Version of my TC is 15.54.3.7 x64.Langue is Python.

Now ,assume that 'AButton' is mapped in Namemapping with 'idstr=abuttonid'

Case 1.When the button is actually not on the app, I do 'Aliases.SomeApp.AButton.Click()',my app's Memory useage rised very fast for about 1,300KB per second until TC throws an error of not found the item.

Case 2.The button is not on the app still, When I do "Aliases.SomeApp.WaitAliasChild('AButton',200)", my app's Memory useage rised very fast just like case 1 until timeout is reached.

Case 3. When I was cycling 100 times 'Aliases.SomeApp.AButton.Click()' I found that my app's Memory useage rised for about 1000 kb.

Also, 'Click' after 'RefreshMappingInfo' method will also cause memory leak to my App.

I want to test whether there is small memory leak in my App but the memory leak of every action in TC disturbs me a lot.

Is there really memory Leak on TC, or I did something wrong?

Why operates in TC can cause memory usage of my App greatly rise?

 

Thanks for reading and sorry for my poor English.

    You mentioned "I am testing a webapp", what browser are you using?

      Chrome I guess.

      It is actually a desktop App and I am using '-cdpAutoSetPort' parameters to reach its Chromium Embedded items

    So it's a desktop application, which has Chromium embedded?

      Read through. Nothing related to my memory problems. My app's memory useage just keeps rising fastly when TC is searching for objects in CEF .

    A memory leak is specific to an application and not the cause of another application. I suggest you debug and find where the memory leak is occurring in your application.

      Tryed useing another test tool such as Ranorex, no memory leak occurs in my app while using cilck method  or search method Ranorex provides. So I thought its neither me nor Delphi+CEF but TC's support on CEF causes this problem. 

      Memory leak occurs every time in TC when searching for any object in CEF(11.4) while don't leak when searching for any Delphi objects.
