Testing a power supply?

Is it possible to test your power supply to ensure that it is completely functional?
How would one go about doing this ?
Thank You

Connect POWER (usually green) to GROUND (usually black) on your 24/20 power connector... I use a paperclip. Make sure it's plugged in, and it should turn on.
 
Antec and others sell cheap basic PSU testers starting at around $15 that put a load on the PSU. I use one of these on each new PSU for about a minute to make sure it's not EOA (exploding on arrival 🙂 ).

Look at the SilentPCReview.com PSU reviews for mentions of higher-end test equipment that isn't worth buying unless you want to review PSUs 🙂

Your motherboard BIOS and monitor software can tell you about voltages
