we are starting developing web application in asp.net with visual studio. The question I have is , do we have to install IIS on each developers machine. If no how we can test our code before putting it onto the server so that others developers will not be effected some buggy code on to the server

Thank
Anil

At a basic level those are your choices. You either put IIS on your
developers machine, making sure it is properly patched and secured, or you
use a shared server. The risk in a shared server is, as you stated, that
developers will upload buggy code that impacts other developers. We have
put IIS on our developer's machines, secured it properly per
recommendations, thus allowing developers to work out issues on their
machine before migrating the code to a shared environment.

A good place to start is with the IIS Lockdown tool
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/tools/locktool.asp). Making sure
machines are properly patched with security hotfixes, especially those
related to IIS, is extremely important as well. You might also start by
browsing the links at
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/community/centers/iis/iis_security_faq.mspx
and
