For testing and developing purpose only, you can make a use of the .htaccess file inside your developing root server, it will help you control the caching policy of the browser so you will able to work in non-caching environment.

From Wikipedia (.htaccess):

.htaccess files allow a server to control caching by web browsers and proxies to speed up websites

The mod_expires tell the browser that the file is expire so it will go and fetch it again after 1 minute (you can even set it for 0 seconds - the file immediately expires)

 
  ExpiresActive On
  ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 minutes"
  ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 1 minutes"
  ExpiresByType text/html "access plus 1 minutes"
  ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 1 minutes"
  ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 minutes"
  ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 minutes"
  ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 minutes"
