one is most places test for free. but the easy at home way to check is get your car jump started if its not starting on its own. after its running, pull the negative off the battery taking special car not to arc your wrench on anything. if its keeps running, alternator is good. if it dies, get it replaced. if the alternator is bad, it may have killed the battery, so get it tested and replaced if needed.
