STRESS: Artificially Consumes System Resources for Testing

The STRESS utility makes scarce-resource testing easier and more realistic. STRESS uses STRESS.DLL, which is a dynamic link library (DLL) that artificially consumes system resources, enabling developers to observe the behavior of applications in scarce-resource conditions.

STRESS affects the following system resources, using the functions listed to consume and release each resource:

> Global memory: Allocated by AllocMem, released by FreeAllMem

> GDI heap memory: Allocated by AllocGDIMem, released by FreeAllGDIMem

> User heap memory: Allocated by AllocUserMem, released by FreeAllUserMem

> Disk space: Allocated by AllocDiskSpace, released by UnAllocDiskSpace

> File handles: Allocated by AllocFileHandles, released by UnAllocFileHandles

For more information, see the STRESS.HLP Help file.

STRESS was built and tested under Microsoft(R) Windows(TM) version 3.1.
