Best IMO is to take the gen and the reg together to an auto electric shop to have them tested. They like to test both parts together.

You can find some basic troubleshooting guides in the Sticky at the top of page 1 of this forum, but as Mick says the complete test if those don't satisfy is to take the gen/reg set to a shop.
