Running Multiple TestTrack Clients on Mac OS X
Helix ALM
I prefer using Mac OS X as my operating system. However, I often need to connect to multiple projects at once. This is a problem because Mac OS X only supports running one instance of an Application Bundle, so you can only run one instance of TestTrack at a time.
There is a workaround for this however. First, make sure you have "Allow multiple instances" turned on in your Tools->Local Options.

Next, copy your TrackTrack Client.app from your /Applications/TestTrack folder to some convenient location, such as your home directory or your desktop. You can copy this by either right-clicking TestTrack Client.app and selecting "Copy TestTrack Client.app" or pressing the Alt/Option key then dragging your TestTrack application to your other directory.
You can now launch TestTrack from the /Application/TestTrack folder and your new folder at the same time. Both applications can be placed in your Dock as well.
