There are several options you have:
- separate partition where you can install the development version
- a chroot with the development version
- virtualization (kvm, virtualbox) and installing the development
version there
See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/UsingDevelopmentReleases
for a overview about the different options and their advantages/
disadvantages.
