Voltometer Reading

How would you use a voltage reader to check the altenator. It seems it would be easy to use to test the battery, but that would not tell me if my alternator is working, as I'm sure a new battery is going to hold its charge for a little while. Where would you place the terminals and what other things would you need to do to check the alt. I may be able to borrow one.

Thanks
