# lv_test_helpers.h (/api/public/debugging/test/lv_test_helpers_h)
Functions [#functions]
lv_test_get_allocation_count [#lv_test_get_allocation_count]
Get the number of live allocations on the LVGL heap.
```c title=" " lineNumbers=1
size_t lv_test_get_allocation_count(void)
```
**Returns:** `size_t` — the number of allocated blocks, or 0 when the heap does not report it
lv_test_get_free_mem [#lv_test_get_free_mem]
```c title=" " lineNumbers=1
static size_t lv_test_get_free_mem(void)
```
lv_test_wait [#lv_test_wait]
Emulate a delay. It's not real delay, but it tricks LVGL to think that the required time has been elapsed. `lv_timer_handler` is called after each millisecond, meaning all the events will be fired inside this function. At the end the animations and display will be also updated.
```c title=" " lineNumbers=1
void lv_test_wait(uint32_t ms)
```
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
| ---- | ---------- | ---------------------------------- |
| `ms` | `uint32_t` | the number of milliseconds to pass |
lv_test_fast_forward [#lv_test_fast_forward]
Emulates some time passing. Update the animations and the display only once at the end.
```c title=" " lineNumbers=1
void lv_test_fast_forward(uint32_t ms)
```
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
| ---- | ---------- | ---------------------------------- |
| `ms` | `uint32_t` | the number of milliseconds to pass |

```c title=" " lineNumbers=1
