# Deprecating dotMemory Unit

**[JetBrains](https://daily.dev/sources/jetbrains)** · 2 min read · 13 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

JetBrains is deprecating dotMemory Unit, its unit testing framework for detecting memory issues in .NET code. The tool will no longer receive maintenance, compatibility updates, or security fixes. Key reasons include lack of support for modern .NET versions, incompatibility with recent dotMemory workspace formats, and outdated dependencies with known security vulnerabilities. The deprecation was marked on NuGet.org on May 20, 2026, with the official notice posted May 28, 2026. JetBrains acknowledges there is currently no direct replacement for in-test memory profiling workflows.
