How to Use Docker (or alternative) as Test Environment

As part of my job I evaluate many software and applications. I need to have an environment that is easy to clean (so the previous apps are not bloating my system) and always light. One idea is to create isolated environments (either by Docker or Virtual machines) and fire up a new environment every time I need to start over with new software to evaluate.

Questions: 1.Does Docker support this? Can I use it to create new environment every few days and test software in it? 2. If not, which VM system would be suitable for this particular need?

Thanks
