Abstract
Potential sources of memory leaks are identified by tracking the size of groups of stored items and determining based on the growth pattern of the groups whether the groups of stored items are potential sources of memory leaks. An example of a group of stored items is an instance of a Java collection. If the growth pattern of a particular group of stored items indicates that it may be the source of a memory leak, that group is reported to a user and will continue to be tracked.
