+Expected result
+===============
+
+This application should run a number of tests equal to NUMBER_OF_TESTS (Default 12).
+
+At the beginning of the tests memory usage of each thread is printed.
+At the end of the tests, the threads memory usage is printed once more time.
+
+This test is passed if the memory used by the main thread remains static.
+
+Background
+==========
+
+The module `memarray` is the fixed-size block allocator for RIOT-OS.
+
+This test application is therefore specialized for only testing the use of the module.
+
+This is also inspired by `test/malloc`.
