This tests your systematic process for debugging memory issues. A good answer outlines using the Memory Profiler, forcing GC, capturing heap dumps, and analyzing object references. A red flag is just naming the tool without explaining the 'how'.
This tests your systematic process for debugging memory issues, not just tool knowledge. A strong answer outlines a four-step process: use the Memory Profiler to observe allocations, force garbage collection, capture a heap dump when memory doesn't recover, and analyze the dump for leaked objects. A major red flag is simply naming the profiler without providing a concrete, step-by-step diagnostic workflow or not knowing what to look for in the heap dump.
