Exploring Memory Analysis Views > Exploring the Memory Difference View
The Memory Difference view summarizes the differences between two related memory snapshots. The differences are expressed in terms of the class-level metrics available in both the Runtime Summary and the Instances view: Use Case, Heap, and Dead counts and memory.
Note To get meaningful results, you must compare similar memory snapshots. This means that your sessions need to use the same use case, and the snapshots need to be taken at the same relative point in each session.
