Ready API hangs frequently and consuming 7 GB of memory

[PrakashKannan]

I am using the latest licensed version of Ready API. It hangs frequently and it is taking more time to start up.

This seems very poor when comparing the SOAP UI

It is really difficult to comment without knowing the usage of yours.

Couple of suggestions:
  1. Close the unused projects.

  2. Use the tool to design the tests and execute the tests using "READYAPI_HOME/bin/testrunner" utility in command-line mode.
  3. Use appropriate heap settings.

You can also look at the documentation regarding the optimizing memory settings:

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried memory management mentioned. Still it does not work. I think that having the huge test history will be the reason for this. When I disable the 'Test History' in preference , it is faster. Badly I need test history to review my failures on each run.

I run into this quite often as well. While not a solution, I have a potential bandaid. I have a project that I use as a test-bed for various groovy script projects. It's small and I usually always have it open. I have a groovy script in there that runs the following code:

System.gc();

I run this whenever I see ReadyAPI using more than a few gigs of memory and sometimes it can help me lessen how many times I have to close and re-open the program.

Is that even after you follow above 3 suggestions?

Yes. It was. It is fine after multiple restarts.
