“make install” really just installs it into nextstep/Emacs.
When you do “make”, the binary is updated (src/emacs -> nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs), which facilitates fast testing. So, only the first “make install” is necessary to test when doing development, unless non-preloaded (dumped) lisp files or other resources are changed. This binary gets its resources from what is in nextstep/Emacs.app.
To test run after changes to the C code in src/, I usually do something like
make -j4
../nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -q
