Clear memory being used by PHP

Question

I\'m running into an interesting problem. I\'m using PHPUnit, and my tests take more memory every single time I run them. Ie...

2.25 MB

2.5 MB

3.0 MB

Answer 1

Calvin, as per discussed in the chat, it was due to missing reset features.

When testing, we must ensure that the test environment is consistent so that we're able to get accurate results. Computing is Input/Output and hence we should use Fixtures in PHPUnit to reset storage to prevent "memory leaks" like these.
