Test is a relative word, but if you just want to know if it heats or not, hit the button for a second and listen for crackling, hissing, etc. If you hear it, it's good, or at least not entirely non-functioning.
Maybe not immediately helpful but if you are going to be vaping a while, a digital multimeter comes in handy for testing cartos, attys and batteries. Can buy them for $10 at Super T or at any hardware store.
Just like above I use a multimeter. Test the ohms and if it reads at all, it works. I never have duds EVER, whenever someone says that they ordered cartos and 2 of 5 were duds, I think they didn't test different things to make it work. Pull the posts, use extenders, etc. and you can almost always make cartos work. I bought my multimeter for 16$ at walmart (overpriced) and it's kind of a weird one, have to set the ranges and all. PM me if you buy one and don't know how to use it. Sorry if it's rambling, hope that helps.
Whatever you do, don't fire it without filling it first. It will burn the filler and render the carto unusable.
...not very well...slightly burnt is kinda like being a "little bit" pregnant........................
Glad to see this question come up, I was just about to post it myself. 
I need to find my multimeter, not sure where I put it. Once I do though, I'm probably going to have several questions about it's use. I've only used it a few times, and my husband is about as un-mechanically inclined as they come.
