The LowMem tool is a free test tool developed by Symbian for use during Symbian Signed testing. The tool aims to verify an application's handling of the Low Memory Condition during start-up. Handling of Low Memory situations has been the number one cause for failure in Symbian Signed...

The application is straightforward to use:

1. Specify an amount of heap memory that shall be made available for your application, the increase of memory between each try (the LowMem tool will launch your application several time, each time giving it a little bit more heap)
2. Select the application to stress
3. Not easy to boot with 1024 bytes of free heap!!!
4. Here is the final result: the application has failed to boot in 73% of the test (which is really too much according to Symbian Signed criteria but very little heap memory has been made available...). The application however never leaked

You can download this application for UIQ or Series 60 from Symbian Signed site (a registration is required to download this tool). The Series 80 port is ongoing.
