Hey @Sameer-Dhole,

Are you able to provide more details on:

• How your test is written using the @axe-core/webdriverio package
• The URL being analysed
• If the URL is not public a reproducible snippet

Thanks

Hi @Zidious , we are using the below snippet . If you observe the memory of the node process the memory doubles after every few iterations

import { browser } from '@wdio/globals'
import AxeBuilder from '@axe-core/webdriverio'

describe('Accessibility Test', () => {
    it('should get the accessibility results from a page @sameer', async () => {
        for(var i = 0; i < 100 ; i++){
            // let builder = new AxeBuilder({ client: browser, noSandbox: true })
            await browser.url('https://testingbot.com')
            let result = await new AxeBuilder({ client: browser }).analyze()
            console.log('Acessibility Results:', result)
            result = null
        }
    })
})

Can you please help us here
