I’m considering that approach, but that would mean switching users just for testing. I suppose I could set up some sort of common folder to save screen shots and crash reports as I don’t want to have activity in the test user not be available to me in my main account. If Mac had some sort of container system like linux or if I could easily run it in a VM (without a large GB virtual disk) I’d prefer that route but that doesn’t seem possible right now.
