title: XCODE instruments Allocation Growth

  <p>I am running uiautomation scripts on an ios application. After about 40 iterations of:</p>
  
  <p>logging in
  tapping several buttons over and over
  and then logging out</p>
  
  <p>i arrive at this graph.</p>
  
  <p>My question is regarding the allocations graph. Is it supposed to look like that? My script stopped running and i think its because of too many memory leaks? I know where the leaks are and it is in the same place all the time. But over time should the allocations graph look like this? I'd assume that in an ideal memory conscious application that it would essentially maintain a 0 slope. But what this means to me is that over time there is still alot allocated?</p>
  
  <p>Question: is the graph supposed to look like this? With the steps i am doing if memory is being released correctly (non-arc) should it maintain  a sloped allocation graph/over time?</p>
