Abstract
A device and method generates a graphical representation for memory leak detection. The method includes executing a selected application for a time period. The method includes determining a plurality of memory application programming interface (API) functions performed during the execution of the selected application in the time period. Each of the memory API functions request a chunk of a memory of the electronic device at a specified time. The method includes determining select ones of the memory API functions that do not release the respective chunk of the memory in the time period. The method includes generating the graphical representation including the selected memory API functions at the respective specified time for identification of a memory leak of the selected application.
