This is the best way IMO to test them. Use a set of jumper cables and a good battery to test them, the tips on all of them should get bright red.
If your worried about a head gasket leak, however unlikely it is, buy a cheap diesel compatible leak tester. They fit in where the rad cap goes and test for combustion gasses in the cooling system.
