During the course of execution, software programs accumulate several data objects that serve no purpose in the program and need to be let go. If not dealt with, they can keep eating up memory and significantly hamper performance.

While all of these are helpful steps on the road to achieving digital confidence, some use cases might not benefit from more automated testing.
