To test use a test light and disconnect your glow plugs then place crocodile clip onto battery positive and touch the probe end of your test light onto the individual glow plug if the test lamp lights then glow plug internal circuit is ok,if it does not then it,s not ok. Note this method is only to be used on your style of glow plug and not on ceramic style.
