Monitor memory with dotMemory Unit

tip

JetBrains Rider's unit test runner does not allow running two or more tests with the same ID. This rarely happens in practice, but if you do have tests with the same ID, they will appear as a single node in the Unit Tests window, and only one of them will run.

Note that test frameworks identify tests in different ways. For example, MSTest uses test-methods FQNs but NUnit uses properties of test attributes as test IDs.

JetBrains Rider allows you to check your code for all kinds of memory issues right from your unit tests using JetBrains dotMemory Unit.

To enable memory tests, install the JetBrains.DotMemoryUnit NuGet package and reference it in your unit test project.

As soon as you reference the dotMemory Unit Testing Framework, JetBrains Rider will add Run under dotMemory Unit Ctrl0U,0M to other unit testing actions, so that you will be able to make your unit tests pass or fail depending on memory traffic, presence of specific objects in memory, and other factors.
