+# Memory Test Suite
+
+This directory contains comprehensive memory leak detection and stress testing tools for the sync engine.
+
+## Tests Available
+
+### 1. Basic Memory Test
+```bash
+npm run test:memory:basic
+```
+- **Duration**: ~30 seconds
+- **Purpose**: Quick validation of resource cleanup
+- **Tests**: ResourceManager, Model lifecycle, Sync engine disposal
+- **Pass Criteria**: < 5MB memory growth
+
+### 2. Stress Test (Long-running)
+```bash
+npm run test:memory
+```
+- **Duration**: 2 minutes (configurable)
+- **Purpose**: Detect memory leaks under continuous load
+- **Activities**: Continuous model creation, modification, deletion
+- **Pass Criteria**: No memory leak detection, stable resource usage
+
+### 3. Memory Monitor
+```bash
+npm run monitor:memory
+```
+- **Duration**: Until stopped (Ctrl+C)
+- **Purpose**: Monitor memory usage in real-time
+- **Output**: Memory statistics every 2 seconds
+
+## What These Tests Validate
+
+### ✅ Resource Management Fixes
+- Timer cleanup (setTimeout/setInterval)
+- WebSocket connection lifecycle
+- Event listener removal
+- AbortController cleanup
+- Model disposal
+
+### ✅ Memory Leak Prevention
+- No unbounded memory growth
+- Proper garbage collection
+- Resource disposal patterns
+- Connection cleanup
+
+### ✅ Stress Test Scenarios
+- High-frequency model operations
+- Concurrent modifications
+- Resource churn (create/dispose cycles)
+- Sync engine operations under load
+
+## Expected Results
+
+### Healthy System:
+```
+📊 Memory Growth: +0.17 MB
+✅ PASS: Memory growth within acceptable limits
+🎉 Basic Memory Test PASSED - No memory leaks detected!
+```
+
+### Memory Leak Detected:
+```
+⚠️ MEMORY LEAK DETECTED - Heap grew by more than 20MB
+❌ FAIL: Memory growth exceeds 5MB threshold
+💥 Basic Memory Test FAILED - Memory leaks detected!
+```
+
+## Understanding the Output
+
+### Memory Metrics:
+- **Heap Used**: Active memory usage
+- **Heap Total**: Total heap allocated
+- **External**: Memory used by C++ objects
+- **RSS**: Resident Set Size (total process memory)
+
+### Growth Thresholds:
+- **Basic Test**: < 5MB acceptable
+- **Stress Test**: No continuous growth pattern
+- **Long-term**: Stable over time
+
+### Key Indicators:
+1. **Memory Growth**: Should be minimal and stable
+2. **Resource Counts**: Should not grow unbounded
+3. **Error Rate**: Should be < 1% of operations
+4. **Cleanup Success**: All resources properly disposed
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### High Memory Growth:
+1. Check for uncleaned timers
+2. Look for undisposed event listeners
+3. Verify model disposal calls
+4. Check WebSocket cleanup
+
+### Test Failures:
+1. Verify all dependencies installed (`npm install`)
+2. Check Node.js version (v16+ recommended)
+3. Ensure sufficient system memory
+4. Check for other memory-intensive processes
+
+### Performance Issues:
+1. Reduce test duration or intensity
+2. Increase sleep intervals in stress test
+3. Lower batch sizes for operations
+4. Check system resource availability
+
+## Integration with CI/CD
+
+These tests can be integrated into continuous integration:
+
+```yaml
+# Example GitHub Actions
+- name: Run Memory Tests
+  run: |
+    npm run test:memory:basic
+    npm run test:memory
+```
+
+Memory test results help ensure:
+- No regressions in resource management
+- Stable memory usage patterns
+- Production readiness validation
+- Long-running application safety
