Ram usage by Application

[Michal_Ignaczak]

Hello, 

I need to implement the Memory consumption meter for my tests and I wonder why my code shows me a different results than Windows Task Manager. 

My code (Python): 

def ram_usage(var_name):
  memory_usage = Sys.MemUsage
  Log.Message("Total memory usage:" + str(memory_usage) + "%")
  app_memory_usage = Sys.Process("MyApp").MemUsage 
  Log.Message("App memory usage:" + str(arena_memory_usage) + "kBytes")
  Project.Variables.VariableByName[var_name] = app_memory_usage

Should I use another methods to obtain RAM consumption ?

Best Regards,

Michal

Hi Michal,

Both Task Manager and Sys.MemUsage provide pretty rough figures.

If you need to better monitor your tested application I would suggest to consider performance counters: https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/advanced/monitoring-performance/index.h...
