There is a tool called IE tester, which might be what you're looking

That said, we generally use the browser mode settings for testing here
(on the development side at least), and don't have any problems.

Hello All -
I've been testing a new version of a legacy project against IE 7, 8 and 9
using IE9's Browser Mode Controls.
This way of switching browser modes (between 7, 8 and 9) is quite
convenient
but... is it a true representation of how the project will render in these
three browsers?
If not, I'd love to get some suggestions on the LEAST INVASIVE way to test
different "modern" flavors of IE.
Use to do the VM routine before my C drive crashed and had to re-do all my
software. Now that all my apps are cleanly installed and working
perfectly,
I'd rather not have to add software that I only use on occasion.
Any guidance greatly appreciated.
I've been using those browser mode settings in IE for a while, even in
a corporate setting. They seem to be fairly accurate.
I think that, generally speaking, it is better than using browsershots
or browsercam, since those just give screenshots and can't test
functionality. I use those for testing things I don't have access to
(like Mac-specific or IE6 specific issues...even then, those are only
so helpful and only address layout issues, not functionality).
