Nothing short of rigging up a test bench which would cost a couple of hundred dollars at a minimum.
Hydraulic pump, suitable hoses, piston retainers (could use a block of wood) and a gauge. This would only test total pressure. Would work only on a single caliper design. Wouldn't tell whether the pressure is applied evenly to multiple calipers.
Initial test on a new rebuild uses vacuum but this method can't be trusted on a used caliper due to possible wear on the piston.
