Before I found out that now days the voltage regulator isn't seperat, I did the old school method were you disconnect the positive cable from the battery and if it stays running it's good. Honesty I have not gotten a professional check on the alternator to be certain.

Never disconnect the battery on a running engine. You can damage all kinds of expensive things. Get the alternator tested and go from there.
