You really need special test equipment for testing a cap. I have a capacitance meter that measures the actual value of the cap. I also have an ESR meter. Many electrolytic caps will fail due to high ESR. Some digital VOM's have a capacitance range. You could always just change caps; but, that can get expensive, especially when changing high value, high voltage electrolytics.
