Finding a memory leak in dev/test environments is different to finding a memory leak in production. As has already been said, pretty much all profilers listed above can find memory leaks in dev/test environments, because being intrusive and...

Profilers do not help you find memory leaks

I commented to early on this one. I see that the posting is an obvious troll. VisualVM has the exact feature needed to completely characterize a memory leak and these features are not turned on nor mentioned in the screenshot.

Profilers do not help you find memory leaks

this is a Joke right? If this was about, execution profilers don't help you to find memory leaks then I'd aggree. That said, I don't know how to find a memory leak *without* tooling. In my performance tuning course I teach people how to find a memory...

dynatrace is also not bad

Fri, 06 Jan 2012 21:25:43 -0500

We used dynatrace as a plugin to our performance test tool. I think it can also run stand alone. What dynatrace did was that it showed a high degree of detail as to the timings of individual methods, number of threads, and other metrics which helped...

This must be a joke

The guy doesn't even know how to use the tools and then he complains they won't find his memory leaks. Wow. Yes, they won't just run some analysis and point to some code and say, "Here's your memory leak, dude!" You have to actually...

JMeter can be used for memory leak tracking..

As JOhn mentioned I have extensively JMeter for tracking the memory leak.

Overly simplistic conclusions

Tue, 03 Jan 2012 14:02:57 -0500

While the author may be right that the tools don't automatically point out your memory leak in all situations, I've found that VisualVM (and I assume the other tools I have not used) can easily track things down as long as you actually know your...

Profilers do not help you find memory leaks

Tue, 03 Jan 2012 04:50:15 -0500

We analyzed each of the profilers and described from ground up the process of downloading, installing and using VisualVM, YourKit and JProbe to try to solve a leaking Java application. While at it, we also measured their effect on application...
