We actually have a very cool system that I hope to write about and share at some point – we have a static single page app, and we deploy each branch to a s3 bucket, and use a simple proxy to act like a staging / production environment.

This is cool because any reviewer can see exactly what the change is, and what it would act like in production.

You won't be able to play with the code though, so you might still need to take your approach (or one of the others mentioned) for playing with live code. Often though, I just want to test one scenario that I think of while reading the code, and the previews are useful for that.
