VMTester tests the OS X virtual memory system's behavior to ensure it functions properly. This tool is a utility designed to execute virtual memory testing.
VMTester is a software utility that is specifically designed for testing the behaviour of the virtual memory system of OS X. It works by monitoring the allocation and de-allocation of memory by different applications. One of its standout features is that it updates the system and program info every 5 seconds, allowing you to track changes over time. Additionally, VMTester stores several hours worth of data, which you can access and analyze later on.
The app's interface is user-friendly and comes with some useful functionalities. For example, holding down the Option key when clicking on the arrows allows you to jump by 10 intervals for each click. You can also click and hold on the arrow buttons to scan through an interval of time.
One of the most exciting things about VMTester is its data export feature. You can export the data in a comma-separated format that is easy to import into Excel. The first line of the exported file provides a legend explaining the meaning of each of the comma-separated fields available.
VMTester is also an excellent example of programming with the Cocoa API. It demonstrates the use of NSTableView data sources and notifications, the creation of an NSMutableArray to create a "ring buffer," the use of applicationShouldTerminateAfterLastWindowClosed, and the use of NSTimer to get regular updates.
Other functionalities of the application include the use of NSTask to run a shell command, detection of modifier keys such as the Option key on button clicks, and the use of a "sheet" for error notification and simple dialogs.
Overall, VMTester is a user-friendly and comprehensive utility that helps in testing the virtual memory system of OS X. Its functionalities, including its data export feature, make it a must-have tool for anyone interested in testing the virtual memory system of OS X.
