How do you know if your brake calipers are bad?

Normally a bad brake caliper will stick when you apply the pedal and then slowly release.

It is worth mentioning that squelling or scratching noises are not neccesarily a bad caliper. Those noises are usually caused by the brake pads themselves either sliding on the caliper or the scratching sound is probably the brake wear indicators letting you know you need new brake pads.
