If your multimeter has a transistor check (hfe), then place the Collector,Base& Emitter in the CBE port of multimeter.
Turn the shaft to Diode mode.
If the value is zero,skip that transistor.
You can use the forward resistance of each junction, using the ohms range or diode check function.
Put the leads on the Base and Emitter, then reverse the leads. You should get about 600Ohms forward bias and open circuit (infinity) reverse bias.
Do the same between the Base and Collector. You should get the same results.
Finally put the leads between the Collector and Emitter. You should get open circuit both ways around.
Be aware that some high power transistors have a diode across the Emitter and Collector.
These tests will just be a basic 'go - no go' test. It may pass this test and yet still not perform fully.
You can see obvious faults, like a dead short both ways on each junction or across the Emitter to Collector.
By testing the C B E terminals.
a BJT may be tested as two diodes using the ohms scale. a FET cannot be tested with just a multimeter.
There is no simple way to test FETs with either analog or digital multimeters. Bipolar transistors can be tested to see if their junctions are OK but they can also have failures that cannot be detected with a multimeter.
digital
A: Depends on the meter it measure ohms, voltage, current. some may test for transistor beta health of battery and then some
transistor transistor logic
The analog multimeter has a wider range.

When testing the current draw your digital multimeter should be set on the current.
To check the voltage in an exposed wire, you can use a digital multimeter in voltage measurement mode. Ensure the wire is not connected to any power source, then carefully touch the multimeter probes to the exposed wire's metal contacts. The multimeter will display the voltage present in the wire.
In Digital multimeter we use 9V Dc battery.
Unfortunate.
