This can be done by doing volume testing i.e. Application tries to retrieve large amount of data that require large temporary buffer area. If the data exceed the buffer area the situation of memory leakage will occur and query will fail without returning any result as sorting didn t got finished as buffer exceeds the limit.

actully we are supposed to do the memory leakages tests while function testing or api testing.you have to see the memory size before test execution and after test execution by using memory related API functions or MFC functions.

then u can get the thing.

Memory Leak is best identified by conducting Soak Test.

A soak test runs for a prolonged duration of time. You will need to find number of Vusers between your results for Client's requirement and the the result you obtain for your Break-Even point of the application. Use this number of Vusers to run the test for a few hours days or weeks.

LoadRunner is the application you need to be looking at.
