Where is the park brake switch on peterbilt 379?
You don't actually drive a truck, do you? There isn't a switch - the spring brakes (parking brakes) are actuated by pulling out on the tractor brake control valve. This evacuates air from the emergency chamber of the brake chambers, which in turn releases the spring brakes. The springs push the brakes into an engaged position, and that's your parking brake. It's typically the yellow knob (the red one is the trailer air supply). In the case of custom valve covers replacing the OEM ones, it'll be the one on the right.

Is peterbuilt air brake knob yellow?
The Bendix OEM knobs for those valves are yellow and red. Yellow is for the brake control valve, which releases the brakes on the power unit. The red is for the trailer supply valve, which provides air to the trailer, both to release the trailer brakes, to inflate the air ride suspension, and to actuate the brakes when the brake pedal is depressed.
Are brakes on when no air pressure is available on air brake systems?
On spring brake equipped trucks the answer the is yes. When air is discharged (pulling out yellow or red knob) from the emergency chamber a heavy spring inside the chamber applies tremendous force to you brake wheel. Anything pre-FMVSS 121 (or CMVSS, wherever you reside) will not have the spring chambers and therefore will only hold the brakes as long as there is air there. Once air is gone, say goodbye to the unit!

How do you perform air brake test?
Chock the wheels or put the transmission in gear. Press in the brake control valve (the yellow knob), and, if applicable, the trailer supply valve (red knob). Let the air pressure settle, then press the brake pedal. You should not lose more than 3 psi/minute for a single vehicle, and 4 psi/minute for a combination vehicle. Any more than that, and you have a leak. Hold the brake for a minute, and check air pressure loss. After that, you have to drain air from the system - this is typically done by pumping the brakes repeatedly. Between 20 - 60 psi, the brake control valve (and trailer supply valve, if connected to a trailer) should pop out. All warning lights and chimes should be activated. Once that's done, you make sure the vehicle is in neutral, and start the engine. Let the air build up. You should hear air release and notice a pause in the buildup of air between 115 - 130 psi.
